Equivalent air depth (EAD) calculator

Finds the air depth with the same nitrogen partial pressure as a nitrox mix: the depth you take into the air tables.

Equivalent air depth

EAD = N2% x (depth + 10)/79 - 10
METRIC

The formula: EAD = N2% x (depth + 10)/79 - 10. Change any box and the full working updates. For study only, never for dive planning.
