Boyle's Law: (P1 X V1)/T1 = (P2 X V2)/T2 applies to Scuba diving since there is a significant change in the pressure. As the pressure of the surounding water increases with depth, you are required to use far more air from the SCUBA tank to provide for your breathing. If you use one cubic foot of air at sea-level, doubling the atmosphereic pressure as you go down causes you to use your compressed air at twice the rate. By the time you get very deep you are using your air at a very high rate.

How are Boyles law and Charles law alike?

Boyles Law deals with conditions of constant temperature. Charles' Law deals with conditions of constant pressure. From the ideal gas law of PV = nRT, when temperature is constant (Boyles Law), this can be rearranged to P1V1 = P2V2 (assuming constant number of moles of gas). When pressure is constant, it can be rearranged to V1/T1 = V2/T2 (assuming constant number of moles of gas).
