The outside water pressure increases with depth and so the stresses on the hull also increase with depth. Each 10 metres (33 ft) of depth puts another atmosphere (1 bar, 14.7 psi, 101 kPa) of pressure on the hull, so at 300 metres (1,000 ft), the hull is withstanding thirty standard atmospheres (30 bar; 440 psi; 3,000 kPa) of water pressure.
(for example, 50% nitrox can be breathed at twice the pressure of 100% oxygen, so divide by 0.5, etc.). Of this total pressure which can be tolerated by the diver, 1 atmosphere is due to surface pressure of the Earth's air, and the rest is due to the depth in water. So the 1 atmosphere or bar contributed by the air is subtracted to give the ...

The pressure of seawater at a depth of 33 feet equals one atmosphere. The absolute pressure at 33 feet depth in sea water is the sum of atmospheric and hydrostatic pressure for that depth, and is 66 fsw, or two atmospheres absolute. For every additional 33 feet of depth, another atmosphere of pressure accumulates. [6]
60 m (200 ft) Depth limit for a group of 2 to 3 French Level 3 recreational divers, breathing air. [17] 66 m (217 ft) Depth at which breathing compressed air exposes the diver to an oxygen partial pressure of 1.6 bar (23 psi). Greater depth is considered to expose the diver to an unacceptable risk of oxygen toxicity. [nb 2] 100 m (330 ft)
Adults 45 and older should exercise caution, experts say There is no specific age cutoff when it comes to shoveling snow, but people with any heart or musculoskeletal conditions should be ...
When it comes to high blood pressure, the good news, according to the CDC, is that more and more adults over 60 are aware of the risks and are seeking treatment — but the risks themselves haven ...
A dive profile is a description of a diver's pressure exposure over time. It may be as simple as just a depth and time pair, as in: "sixty for twenty," (a bottom time of 20 minutes at a depth of 60 feet) or as complex as a second by second graphical representation of depth and time recorded by a personal dive computer. Several common types of ...
