I'm NAUI Nitrox Certified. We have a wheel that gives us an equivelant air depth (EAD). I also have a NAUI device that, given an altitude and depth, gives you an equivelant depth for that altitude (and fresh water).
I do not have NAUI Nitrox altitude tables because in Southern California they would be nearly pointless.
But I do plan to dive altitude in the near future and was wondering if it is enough to calculate EAD and then that that depth and use it for altitude calculations or if I actually must have altitude tables (for technical reasons, rather than convenience). I searched through the NAUI Nitrox book and it really only mentions using altitude Nitrox tables, but mentions nothing about whether I can use the EAD with the altitude adjustment device (have no idea what it is called).
Further, I couldn't find anything specific in the PADI Nitrox book, either.
Would anyone here know the answer?
