Boyle's Law
Boyle's Law is a fundamental scientific principle that explains the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas in a closed system at constant temperature. As the pressure increases, the volume decreases, and vice versa—this relationship is essential across various scientific and practical applications, including diving.
Equvalent Air Depth
Equivalent Air Depth (EAD) uses Boyle's Law to help divers calculate their air consumption at different depths. It is crucial for planning safe and efficient dives by converting dive depths using mixed gases to an equivalent depth with regular air, thereby ensuring effective management of breathing gas underwater.
Surface Consumption Rate
Surface Consumption Rate (SCR) is another important calculation for divers that estimates the amount of gas consumed at the surface. Understanding your SCR allows divers to predict and manage their air usage more effectively during a dive, ensuring optimal resource management.
