No Decompression Limits (NDL) Calculator

The Multi–Dive No–Decompression Limits (NDL) Calculator quickly shows your no–deco times for two consecutive dives by taking into account:

  • Dive 1: Enter depth and bottom time to get your ending pressure group and confirm your maximum NDL.
  • Surface Interval: Enter how long you plan to wait on the surface to see how much residual nitrogen “leaks off” and what starting group you’ll be in for Dive 2.
  • Dive 2: Enter your second-dive depth and bottom time to see both the fresh-dive NDL and the reduced repetitive-dive NDL based on your first dive’s residual nitrogen.
All in one tool—so you can instantly check that neither dive (nor the combination of both) exceeds no-decompression limits.

Dive 1

Depth (ft)

Bottom time (min)

NDL: 0h 56m

Surface Interval

SI (1h 0m)

Dive 2

Depth (ft)

Bottom time (min)

NDL: 0h 51m

Dive 1: 40 min @ 59ftP

NDL: 0h 56m


SI: 1h 0m → E

Min SI: 2h 28m


Dive 2: 30 min @ 49ftR

Adjusted NDL: 0h 51m

Start Group: E

Fresh NDL: 1h 12m

Adjusted NDL: 0h 51m

End Group: R

Fresh NDL is the no-decompression time from zero. Adjusted NDL accounts for residual nitrogen.
