One atmosphere is the amount of pressure that can lift water approximately 10.3 meters.
Considering that a diver already experiences 1 ATM of pressure in air, the water depth in meters d, at which the diver would experience n ATM of pressure, is
d = (n - 1) * 10.3
Hence, to experience 3 atmospheres of pressure, you'd need to go ((3-1) * 10.3) = 20.6 meters (67.6 feet) underwater.

Is there more oxygen in shallow water then deep water?
No. There is more oxygen in deeper water.
Why can't photosynthetic organisms grow in the deep water zone?
Photosynthetic organisms need light in order to survive. In very deep water there is no light.
Why does the height of a wave change as it approaches shore?
When a deep-water pressure wave, such as a tsunami, caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, reaches the continental shelf, it compresses the pressure wave created. When the water gets more shallow, the wave height increases; This is simple physics: the speed of the wave actually slows as it enters shallower water. This slowing causes the wave length to shorten, but the kinetic energy contained in the pressure wave doesn't decrease. Thus the peaks get taller and the troughs get deeper.
What is deep sea thermometer?
DEEP-SEA THERMOMETERS- Thermometers used to measure temperatures in ocean depths must be especially constructed to withstand extreme pressure. For example, the pressure at depths of 5 miles is about 12,000 pounds per square inch. Ordinary thermometers could be crushed by such pressure.-punk_princess_080@yahoo.com
A streamlike movement of ocean water located far below the surface?
Deep currents
Does deep sea have high air pressure or high water pressure?
The deep sea has high water pressure due to the weight of the water above it. As you descend deeper, the pressure increases significantly. Conversely, the air pressure at deep sea depths is relatively constant and does not change as dramatically as water pressure.
Is there more pressure at the bottom of a bathtub of water 30cm deep or at a bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep?
The pressure at the bottom of the pitcher of water 35cm deep is higher than at the bottom of the bathtub of water 30cm deep. Pressure in a fluid increases with depth, so the deeper the water column, the greater the pressure at the bottom. This is due to the weight of the water above exerting a force on the bottom.
Why is water pressure greater at the bottom of the deep end of a pool?
The water pressure is greater at the deep end of a pool because there is more water on top of that which adds to the pressure. If there is more water, the pressure wil be higher because there is more water to put weight on it.
Will an egg crack in water?
yes if there is a high pressure on the water(when the water is deep).

Why is density of water more in deep water?
The density of water increases with depth due to the increase in pressure. As water molecules are packed closer together under high pressure, the density of water increases. Therefore, in deep water where the pressure is higher, the density of water is also higher.
The amount of water pressure you experience while swimming in a pool depends on what?
how deep you are in the water.
Why don't deep sea creatures get crushed from water pressure?
It is most likely that they have adapted to the extreme pressure.
What happens diver go deep under water?
You would blow up from water pressure.
What is the water pressure at 60ft deep?
The water pressure at 60 feet deep is approximately 26 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure increases by about 0.43 psi for every additional foot in depth.
How does water pressure work on someone swimming in a pool?
Pressure acts on any body of water, but you have to go really deep to notice the force.
Where will the sea drivers experience more pressure?
deep inside the sea water
