Padi states that they are tranferring all this over to the ERDP and ERDPml because its easier for students
they did the same thing a while back with the wheel.

HOWEVER. I teach the RDP TABLE as part of the course, you dont have to mark the student on it, and you cant do anything about it if they cant manage the tables but can do the ERDP fine.
My reasoning is this.
Out on a LIVEABOARD, your ERDP decided to go tits up, you have the RDP Table, but you cant do anything as you have no clue what youre doing!!

ALSO, my thinking is this: If you use an ERDP, you MUST AND SHOULD know how the unit has worked out your Saturation.
