RE: Richard Soderberg question
According to DEEPER INTO DIVING by John Lippmann, the PADI "Dive Planner" 
tables were developed from the US Navy tables.  PADI commissioned one of
their corporate affiliates, Diving Science and Technology Corporation to
rework the Navy tables to make then more suited to sport divers (make
them more conservative).  The principle change was to reduce the allowable
NDL limits.
