If they go pass 6,000 feet they won't be able to see because light disappears there. But if they go REALLY far, they could be crushed by the water pressure.

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 !


How do the bends occur?

Bends, also known as decompression sickness, occur when divers ascend too quickly, causing nitrogen bubbles to form in their bloodstream and tissues. This happens because the pressure decreases as they rise to the surface, which can lead to the nitrogen coming out of solution and forming bubbles. These bubbles can cause a range of symptoms, from joint pain to neurological issues, depending on where they occur in the body.


Why do deep-sea divers need to wear special suits?

A diver must rise to the surface of the water slowly because of the changing pressures and if they simply rose straight to the top from deep down their brain and body wouldn't be able to cope with trying to equalise the pressure and they would either die or end up with severe problems. It is a way of trying to get your body to equalise the pressure and realise the pressure is lessening. When you go under water, you are putting the amount of pressure of water and the pressure from the land on top of you, that is a lot of pressure to get your body used to. One of the issues was the Benz; which would have them driven mad by the suddenness of the changing pressures.


At what elevation does the atmosphere become too thin to breathe?

The atmosphere becomes too thin to breathe at high elevations, typically above 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) above sea level.


How long does 80 Cubic Foot Aluminum Compact Neutral Tank last under water?

This is a question that has no one answer, because the question is too general.It depends on the divers physiology or breathing (SAC) rate, and the depth of the dive. As one dives deeper the gas in a tank compresses, and the deeper the diver goes, the more air is consumed with each breath.A divers SAC rate is dependent on a number of variables, in general physical exertion, the divers body mass, and experience. New divers generally have much high SAC rates vs. experienced divers. Large divers have higher SAC rates as they have larger lung capacity.The AL80 (aluminum 80CF) tank is the most common tank in the world, and an AL80 allows most divers to reach their NDL (no decompression limit) at recreational depths.The fact that the tank is Neutrally buoyant has no bearing on the amount of gas in the tank. A Neutrally buoyant 80CF tank offers no advantage over a standard AL80 which is generally approx 4lbs positive when empty. The advantage of a neutrally buoyant tank is that it is approximately 1lbs negative in the water when empty. The allows the diver to remove about 5lbs from the weight belt or pockets.OW certification classes explain the factors involved in determining SAC rates and time at depth, but the only way to arrive at an answer for each individual is to get certified, and dive.

Why do deep sea drivers wear special suits?

Deep sea divers wear special suits to keep their body from getting too cold. They also wear these suits to keep from being crushed under the pressure.

Why do deep sea fish not have scales?

Deep sea fish evolved without scales as a way to adapt to the extreme pressure and darkness of the deep sea environment. Scales are not necessary for protection from predators or to regulate buoyancy in the deep sea. Instead, these fish may have developed other adaptations such as a gelatinous skin or spines for camouflage and defense.


Why don't Humboldt squids survive in captivity?

Dosidicus gigas spend 95% of their time at depths too deep to be safe for divers. They can only survive short periods when removed from these depths.


How deep the sea?

The deepest part of the sea is slightly less than 7 miles deep. You couldn't go down to the bottom. It is too deep even for a Scuba diver. Plus, the water pressure would crush you. And most light disappears 6,000 feet down. update; the sea is approx 31miles deep, more information here: http://www.zadan.nl/pics/sea/ Well, The deepest part of the sea is slightly less than 7 miles deep.

What is the purpose of a depth gauge?

The purpose of a depth gauge is to measure the depth of water. It is used by scuba divers to make sure they don't go too deep because the deeper they go the more pressure the water is.
