Enriched Air Nitrox
Nitrox calculator for every dive.
For Nitrox divers and learners. Calculate MOD, Best Mix, EAD, and plan your dives safely.
Maximum operating depth
How deep can this mix go?
Calculate the maximum safe depth for a given Nitrox mix based on partial pressure limits.
Formula
MOD = ((Max PO₂ ÷ (O₂% ÷ 100)) - 1) × 10
The result is rounded down to the whole metre, so it never takes you past the PO₂ limit.
Note: 1.4 bar PO₂ is the working limit for the whole dive. 1.6 bar is a contingency limit only (and used for decompression in technical diving), never a depth to plan for.
