because bubbles of nitrogen that are abosrbed into the blood at high pressures but are normally insoluble start being released from the blood as the diver rises. If this happens to quickly bubbles in the blood form and the diver gets the bends
When a diver breathes in a mixture of oxygen and helium, their voice will sound higher in pitch due to the different density and speed of sound in helium compared to air. The helium molecules vibrate more quickly in the vocal cords, resulting in the higher pitch.
When a diver surfaces too quickly, the decrease in pressure in the water causes dissolved gases in their body to expand rapidly. This can lead to decompression sickness, also known as "the bends," which can be very serious and even life-threatening. Symptoms may include joint pain, fatigue, difficulty breathing, and neurological issues. It is important for divers to follow proper ascent rates and decompression procedures to avoid this condition.
The Cartesian Diver is actually a scientific experiment. It helps divers determine what amount of air is needed for descent and ascent so that neither is done too quickly which can cause death.
You would blow up from water pressure.
As a beginning diver, you will be certified in an open water course. Upon completion, the diver is cleared to go down 60 ft. It is advisable to get more training such as a deep diver certification if you wish to go farther. The recreational limit is 130 ft. with proper training. Personally, I like 30 ft. depth in the Caribbean waters.
Yes. If they hold their breath their lungs would expand until the burst.
If you mean Diver Down- the flag used in US water is a red flag with a diagonal white stripe.
A diver that competes in the Olympics or a diver that has competed in past Olympics.
In an earth diver story, the featured character is typically a divine being or supernatural being that descends into the waters to bring up land or the foundational elements of the world. This character often plays a crucial role in creating the earth or establishing a habitable environment for life to thrive.
This is due to the high resistance or drag force exerted by the water as the diver enters it. The drag force quickly slows down the diver's speed, leading to a rapid deceleration compared to the relatively small gravitational force that initially accelerated the diver's fall. This difference in forces causes the diver to stop much faster in water than in free fall air.
Increased pressure causes gas to dissolve into the diver's body fluids, such as blood and tissues, at a higher rate. As the diver descends deeper underwater, the pressure increases, leading to more gas being absorbed into the body. This can result in decompression sickness if the diver ascends too quickly without allowing the excess gas to slowly off-gas from their system.
