This is mainly do to the pressure that the water above the diver is putting on the diver. On the surface air is putting pressure on you but it has less weight than water and as you dive deeper the pressure increases because the amount of water above you also increases.

Do you experience more pressure when you swim on the surface of water or under the surface?

Of course when you swim under the surface of the water. The lower you go in the water, the greater the pressure. That's why divers have gauges with them to determine their depth or to know how deep they are in the ocean.


Where is their more pressure on a mountain or ocean?

More pressure is normally experienced in the ocean, where apart from lack of oxygen, divers experience stronger gravity.


How do deep-sea divers survive underwater pressure?

they use very strong, thick materials or equilize the pressure on the inside to be the same as the outside

How blood pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure?

Blood pressure is the blood flow when the heart is pumping (top number) and when the heart is resting (bottom number). The body is a closed system and requires enough blood pressure to pump the blood throughout the body. A typically healthy blood pressure would be 120mmHg/70mmHg. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the atmosphere at a specific location and altitude. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg. So actually, atmospheric pressure is much greater than blood pressure. Most people never have to worry about atmospheric pressure affecting blood pressure. However, deep sea divers experience an increase in blood pressure while diving, and astronauts experience a decrease in blood pressure when in space.


How do you get the bends?

There are two steps:1). Live and work in an environment of increased pressure for some period of time.2). Move rapidly to an environment of decreased pressure.One example: SCUBA or deep-sea divers who have been at the bottom for an extended periodand then come to the surface rapidly.That's how it's done.Please note: You don't want it !


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


What would happen if you didn't have divers?

If the world did not have any divers, it would be havoc! There would be no knowledge of the moss on the rocks on the bottom of the ocean. Oh no! 'o'
