I have a question re: the MOD of EANx at altitude:
The MOD for EAN32 is 110 feet at sea level, but say I'm diving at 5000 feet above sea level. My adjusted altitude depth is 132 feet while diving 110 feet. Does that mean I've shot past my 1.4 ATA goal & am exposing myself to 1.6 ATA at this adjusted altitude depth?
This should be simple but I'm just not wrapping my head around it because, while I understand the increased residual nitrogen load at altitude, we're not ACTUALLY experiencing greater water pressure right? So would oxygen toxicity be based on sea level or altitude-adjusted depths?
I know the conservative answer is very easy. I'm looking for the empirical answer. Thanks!
