What is Residual Nitrogen Time?
The world of scuba diving is one that demands attention to detail, respect for the natural world, and an understanding of physics and physiology principles. One crucial concept in this respect is that of “Residual Nitrogen Time” (RNT), an integral part of dive planning that influences dive safety, duration, and depth. This concept revolves around the body’s nitrogen absorption and release processes, directly tied to decompression sickness prevention.
