I want to know how is your max depth and you are diving with compressed air. Please write the number in meters
 
Never deeper than your experience and comfort in that environment allows.

This appears to be a language issue, but I'm not certain what you are asking. Do you want to know how deep (in meters) I have been on air or do you want to know how deep (in meters) I am willing to dive on air?

In my case, the answers are, I've been to 200 feet (60 meters) on air and, having done so, my personal limit is now 150 feet (45 meters) on air, although I try very hard to avoid going below 100 feet (30 meters) on air. Narcosis can kill and even if it doesn't, what's the point of doing a dive if you aren't going to be able to remember half of what you did?
 
I have gone to 33m (100 ft). My certification does not allow me to go deeper than 40m, 20m without a DM. And for now, my aim is to gain experience with autonomy, so I am not in a hurry to go deeper.
 
I have been 40M on air, but now don't like diving at any depth on air. Only dive Nitrox if available.

Your question isn't clear to me.

IF you're asking "how deep have you been on air" then all I should say is "don't try this at home".

If you're asking "how deep would you go on air" then I'd say "within the limits of my training and experience".

If you're asking "how deep can you go on air" then the answer is about 66 metres.

R..
 
49m is the deepest on air, only once... took a long time to deco on air. I've done it a few more times but with nitrox, using nitrox/O2 for deco.
 
Main agency here recommends no deeper than 55m on normal air mix for obvious reasons.

Deepest ive been is 40m on it (then again, ive never dived deeper than 40m on anything :) )

I start to feel the slight fuzzy haze of narcosis reliably around 33m whether its cold water low vis or a warm water good vis area.
 
With compressed air, my personal record is 33m. Normally I won't go more deeper than 30m.

The deepest I have gone on air.. (this was over 10 years ago) was 100m.. ANd I was very very very narked!

the deepest I will go assuming trimix isnt available and I am in warm water with top conditions is about 60m(open circuit)-70m(closed circuit)

deepest I will do normally is around 45m-50m..

If am diving a CCR and trimix is available I use it on every dive regardless of depth.
