Where are the rules for using a specific RGBM table found?

• A. In the dive log
• B. In the instructor's manual
• C. On the front cover of the table
• D. On the back of the table

Answer: (D)

The rules for applying an RGBM table are printed with the data, on the back of the table. The front shows the depth-time grid with the allowable bottom times, while the back provides the instructions for how to read the table, handle surface intervals, repetitive dives, and any table-specific cautions. This separation keeps the data clear and ensures you follow the proper procedure when planning dives. So when you’re planning, you consult the back of the table for the rules and then use the front to read the actual time limits.
