Oh its alot more simple than i had thought.
So basically all i do is multiply the depth by the oxygen concentration (percent units). Thanks for the explanation guys.
PS: Where (in the PADI regime) was i supposed to learn about this?
PSS: Something they never taught me which i definately want to know is how to hyperventilate so i can stay underwater longer when skindiving.

In other words Jon it is...
the pressure at a given depth (in atmmospheres) multiplied by the oxygen concentration of the gas (in percent) divided by 100?
As Greg said:
--at 30 metres for EAN 36--
4 x 36 = 144/100 = 1.44
So what is the accepted pp for 02 (maximum?) before O2 toxicity kicks in?
Does anyone know where i can see the nitrox tables on the net? Cheers
PS: thanks to everyone for there help on this. Sue dont worry, i am serious about diving and as such i will never take a PADI course now i have AOW. All other certs will be from IANTD and GUE.
