Nitrox is the combination of nitrogen and oxygen. Generally nitrox includes 78% of nitrogen and 21% of oxygen and 1% of other gases. EAD also termed as equivalent air depth is used to find the depth of the dive when breathing the air that has the same partial pressure of nitrogen. To determine the equivalent air depth (EAD) in metres and feet provide here the fraction of oxygen (FO2) at various diving depths in metres.

If you are about to dive using Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN), then you should be familiar with your maximum operating depth (MOD).
For a maximum depth of 100 meters and fraction of oxygen as 35, the
EAD = Equivalent Air Depth = {[((100 - 35) / 100) x ((100 + 10) / 0.79)] } - 10
= {[((100 - 35) / 100) x (110 / 0.79)] } - 10
EAD = Equivalent Air Depth = {[(0.65) x (139.24051)] } - 10
= 90.5063 - 10
= 80.5063
Therefore, the value o EAD is 80.5063
