How does hydrostatic pressure affect a person who dives deep into water?
The air you breath has to be at higher pressure to fill your lungs. The gas goes into your blood. It takes time to come out, so if you surface too fast you get bubbles in your blood, and it will kill you. It's called "the bends" from the extreme pain making people go into the fetal position.
