Forgot to switch dive mode from nitrox to air for my first dive of the day. Now what?

Actually it is only 6 hours. Where do you get 16 hours?

I understand @CT Sean to be saying that since Lochard probably won’t be diving till 7 AM, or later, then the 16 hours he will be out of the water (2:30 PM to 7 AM) is more than enough time, based on PADI tables, to safely dive again.

Idiotic, I know, but I went diving to about 100fsw and checked my NDL and it was roughly 30 minutes. Checked my buddy's and it was 15 minutes. We were both diving on air and I had forgotten to switch from Eanx 28 (from diving on a liveaboard the previous week). I followed my buddy's computer (wrong I know) and sat out the remaining dives of the day. I'd like to know when it will be safe to dive again on air using the same computer on correct settings? I surfaced at 15.30 h. Will I be OK to dive tomorrow morning?

Can you post your profile? Or at least your bottom time and average depth?

At the point that you realized the mistake, did you surface or keep diving at 100 feet until your buddy was out of NDL?

OP said the dived ended at 15:30 and they took the rest of the day off. 7:30 the next morning (a guess at when the next dive opportunity might be) is 16 hours later

If my not so great memory is good, 85 minutes to deco at 60’ on 32% nitrox on the first dive of the trip. For my first morning dive on the third day, I had 82 minutes to deco. So 6 dives over 2 day’s cost me 3 minutes of deco. I would think that you are fine especially since you skipped the rest of the dives. You might want to not push right up to deco.
