Nitrox MOD Calculator

Enter your oxygen percentage and PO₂ limit to get your maximum operating depth (MOD) — and the best mix for a target depth.

Maximum Operating Depth (MOD)

33.8 m

111 ft — deeper than this, EAN32 risks oxygen toxicity

Best mix for a target depth
m planned depth →EAN35 at PO₂ 1.4

Educational estimate using the standard MOD formula. Always analyse your own cylinder, verify the blend on the label, and dive within your training and your computer’s limits. Nitrox requires an Enriched Air certification.

Air-Duration Calculator

Estimate how long your gas will last at depth from your cylinder size, pressure, depth and breathing rate.

Estimated time at depth

33 min

Using 150 bar of gas at 2.8 ata (50 L/min)

Rough planning estimate assuming a constant depth and breathing rate. Real dives vary — cold, current and stress raise consumption. Always monitor your gauge, turn the dive at your planned pressure, and surface with your reserve.
