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.
How long has human stayed underwater?
Without breathing, the world record is 22min With air bottles (scuba diver) or in a submarine you can of course stay longer. In a submarine when you have enough supplies, you can stay virtually forever under water.
While boating you see a red flag with a white diagonal stripe What does this flag mean?
A diver is underwater in the area. Stay at least 100 ft away.

How long can a SCUBA diver stay at 100 meters?
As long as he wants if he has enough gas to do the required decompression. But if you are asking what the no-stop time limit is, it doesn't exists since any dive to 100 meters (328 feet) requires mandatory decompression.
How long can you stay at 55 meters underwater using SCUBA?
A diver can always stay as long as they want if they have enough gas to breath and do any required decompression. But if you are asking what the time limit is on air without having any required decompression time, the answer would be about 5 minutes which includes your descent time or about 3 minutes on the bottom.
How does scuba gear work?
Scuba stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. It uses two regulators, one on the bottle which takes the volume of compressed air to a manageable rate, then the second regulator takes the air to a breathable rate so the diver can breath the air comfortable. The other part of diving is a divers buoyancy. This is controlled by using a hose which comes from the first stage regulator into a vest called a B.C. (Buoyancy Compensator). The goal of this device is to get you, the diver as close as possible to becoming neutrally buoyant (you don't go up or down, you just stay in the middle). However once neutral buoyancy is achieved it can still be affected through your breathing rate. Gregory L. Las Vegas, NV (D.I.T.)
What is it called when you are boating and you see a red flag with a white diagonal stripe?
A float with a red flag with a diagonal white stripe is the symbol for "Divers Down"; Scuba divers are underwater in this area. Be cautious in the area of the float, because the divers will surface nearby.
How far do you stay away from diver down flag in the water in Texas?

Why do shcool egsist?
because one day a person was sitting in there house staring at there child thinking, I wish there was a place for my kid to learn the rights and wrongs so i wouldn't have to be the one to teach it to them so they invented school. this person was a scuba diver so that is why they called it shool representing the school of fish under water. Meaning that the students would stay togethor always and blah blah blah boring words
What happens to the air from a SCUBA tank as you go down?
It passes thru the regulator where the surrounding pressure of the water regulates the pressure of the air in the line so that it is equal. This prevents any pressure differential that would make it hard to breathe.As for the air in the SCUBA cylinder, nothing happens to it as you go down. The pressure stays the same, etc. As to how breathing from a SCUBA cylinder works, there is an excellent answer under the question "How do you breathe underwater when you go scuba diving?"
