How can a diver stand the pressure at 102 feet deep?
Okay well... Let's see... ~ At 102 feet the diver is experiencing 3 atmospheres of pressure. ~ The diver is able endure that pressure without being squashed simply because the human body always tries to maintain an equilibrium as in homeostasis. Boyle's gass law tells us that as pressure increases volume decreases, so anywhere that there is gas (or air) will decrease in volume, which in closing will help us maintain the extra pressure ~ 《Sorry, I tried to simplify that as much as I could but it's a little difficult （≧∇≦）》
Who is a bigger diver ronaldo or drogba?
Drogba is a much better diver than Ronaldo.
How much water does a hose 2in dia x 1000ft Carrie in gallons?
Approx 544 Imperial gallons.
How much does a diver earn?

How much should you charge someone to put up a 1000ft wood fence?
That would depend on the height, the type, and the material used in the fence.
How much money does a diver make?
55,00 to 1000,500 a year
How much time does a scuba diver spend under water?
It depends on how deep the diver goes, and what air blend the diver is breathing. There are dive tables that state how long a diver can stay at a certain depth before requiring decompression. The basic recreational diver typically breathes either air or Nitrox. There are separate dives tables for air and Nitrox.
Why does a scuba diver has a bigger challenge than a mountain climber?
Water is denser than air so the pressure is much greater underwater than it is in the air. Ascending 20 meters (50ish feet)underwater is about the same amount of pressure as like 1000 feet in the air
Why is air that is pressurized needed in scuba diving?
The pressure on a diver's body increases quickly with depth. At the surface we're all breathing air at 14.7 PSIg, or 1 "Atmosphere" (atm). Each 33 feet of sea water results in another 1 atm of pressure. This means, for example, that a diver's body is under a total pressure of 3 atmospheres at 66 feet of sea water (one of air, two of water). The human respiratory system is designed to operate at normal atmospheric pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch. If we descend to 33 feet, the water pressure exerts a force of nearly 30 pounds per square inch on our bodies. Our bodies are incapable of breathing against that much pressure. A scuba pressure regulator is designed to deliver air at the same pressure as the surrounding water, allowing us to breathe.
How much nitrogen gas would be dissolved in a diver breathing air at 99 feet below the sea after the tissues has equilibrated with the higher nitrogen pressure?
This is potentially an involved question. For a simple answer, it would be four times the amount of a non-diver at sea level. The "amount" cannot really be quantified and the only way to answer this is in terms of what the partial pressure of nitrogen would be. But this too gets complicated since partial pressure assumes the gas stays in solution and no bubbling occurs. The next simplistic answer is to multiply the ambient pressure (4 atmospheres or 58.8 p.s.i.) times the nitrogen pressure percentage (79%) to reach an answer of 46.4 psi for the nitrogen partial pressure. But in reality the body is absorbing less than 79% nitrogen due to the water vapor pressure in the lungs, etc.
How does a rotating bezel watch work?
A rotating bezel is a feature that is found in a diver's watch. It works by measuring the elapsed time and indicating how much time is left before a diver runs out of oxygen.
Why does the diver speed decrease just after entering the water?
Water presents a much higher resistance than air.
