Hey Guys,
I will be diving EAN 28 in two weeks, and I do not know where to get a table for EAN 28. I know my MOD, my Po2, all that.... Just don't know where to get the table for different Nitrox Mixes. I have the tables for EAN 32/36.... but thats all.

Thanks,

Daniel

Just calculate your EAD and use a standard table.
 
Or instead of calculating the EAD (equivalent Air depth) you can calculate the equivalent Nitrox depth for the air depths of your table.

For example, using EAN28, the ndl at 134' is the same as your air table 120' limit, 100' on air = 112' on EAN28, etc.

This avoids the problem where first you calculate ead, then have to round up to the next table depth increment.

Use a Nitrox computer, buy or rent one for this dive.
If you are diving EAN 28 instead of 32 or 36 I assume you are doing a deeper dive and then the effect (bottom time) of Nitrox is less and the added bottom time from the computer due to a multilevel diving profile probably is what you are after anyway.

You can get the IANTD Basic Nitrox textbook that
includes Nitrox tables for 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 and 40%
( both no-deco and deco tables ).
.
Tables are Bulhman-based which are more conservative
than the US Navy....and at depth beyond 130 fsw, you
want to be conservative.
.
Most other books only dwell on the old NOAA 32 and 36%
tables which are mainly EAD based. Get real Nitrox tables!
You'll be better off.

Uncle Pug:
If you think about it an EAD rule of thumb suggests itself.

Think about it...
Use a computer...

Decisions, decisions.
