What is a key benefit of using the RDP for recreational diving?

Using the Recreational Dive Planner (RDP) offers the significant benefit of shorter required surface interval times when compared to traditional dive tables. This feature is particularly appealing for divers who wish to maximize their diving time, especially during a single day of diving activities. The RDP is designed to facilitate quick calculations, allowing divers to plan their next dive sooner by understanding the necessary surface interval based on previous dives.

It's essential for divers to have a clear understanding of their exposure to nitrogen and the time required for the body to safely eliminate this inert gas. The RDP makes this process accessible and intuitive, enhancing dive safety while also providing a more flexible approach to planning multiple dives within a day. Other options tied to depth limits, unlimited dives, or safety stops don't convey the specific advantages offered by the RDP regarding surface intervals.
