What Does ADT Stand For?
ADT stands for Actual Dive Time
ADT, or Actual Dive Time, refers to the total duration a diver spends underwater during a dive, excluding any surface intervals. It is a critical metric for assessing dive profiles, calculating decompression needs, and ensuring safety compliance in diving operations. Accurate measurement of ADT enhances understanding of exposure to pressure and nitrogen uptake, which are essential for minimizing the risks of decompression sickness.
