Pascal's law states:a change in the pressure of an enclosed incompressible fluid (you - the body is 55-65% water) is conveyed undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the surfaces of its container
Basically, at the surface (sea level), you are under 1 atmosphere of pressure - the normal weight of all the air surrounding you. Due to the weight of water, as you descend, there is more weight of water pressing on you.
In salt water, for every 10 meters, 33 feet, you descend, your body is under 1 more atmosphere of pressure.
At 30m (100feet), which is the maximum depth for most recreational diving, you are under 4 atmospheres (ATMs), which is 4 times as much pressure than when you're floating on the surface.

What causes extra pressure when you dive deeper water in terms of particles?
As you dive deeper into water, the weight of the water above you increases, creating more pressure. This pressure is caused by the force of gravity acting on the water molecules above you. The deeper you go, the more particles there are pressing down on you, leading to a sensation of pressure on your body.
How does water pressure change as you go deeper?
Water pressure increases as you go deeper.
Why can a whale dive deeper than a submarine?
The whale is flexible. The submarine is not, and is therefore subject to crushing from the pressure.
Why is it dangerous for human dive deep into the ocean?
there is higher pressure the deeper you travel into the ocean. this pressure is detrimental to health. also breathing is an issue.
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if the earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
Can they dive deeper than another bird?
can they dive deeper than a nother bird? yes they can
What happens to the pressure you dive down deeper in the water?
As you dive deeper into the water, the pressure increases because of the weight of the water above you pressing down. For every 33 feet (10 meters) you descend, the pressure increases by one atmosphere. This increase in pressure can compress the air spaces in your body, such as your ears and lungs, which is why scuba divers need to equalize as they descend to avoid discomfort or injury.
Why are you having ear pain when you dive under the sea?
The deeper u go the more water pressure there is pushing in on your eardrums
Why does your eardrums hurt more as you dive deeper under water?
As you dive deeper underwater, the pressure around you increases due to the weight of the water above. This increased pressure can cause discomfort or pain in your eardrums because it creates a pressure imbalance between the external water pressure and the air-filled space in your middle ear. If you don't equalize the pressure by techniques like yawning or swallowing, the eardrum can stretch, leading to pain or even injury.
When you dive under water why does the balloon get smaller?
The increase in water pressure as you dive deeper compresses the air inside the balloon, causing it to shrink in size. The higher pressure squishes the air molecules closer together, reducing the volume the balloon occupies.
What do scuba divers use to tell how far down they are?
scuba divers use pressure meter because the deeper down you go the more pressure builds upAdditiona depth gauge or a dive computer
