Question

If you were a scuba diver, where is the pressure greatest?

Answer 1

I am assuming you are asking which part the air pressure change is felt most.

You feel more air pressure in you head (nasal cavities,  sinuses, and ears).  One can go down by 3-5 feet and feel the pressure build up in the ears!

Answer 2

The greatest change in atmospheric pressure is at 33 ft. Because you have essentially doubled your atmospheric pressure from 1 atmosphere to 2 atmospheres. However, as you go deeper the pressure does increase, but the changes become less significant the deeper you go.

Answer 3

pretty much all of the above are right.  But it just feels like less of an increase after 66 feet because you are already under a lot of pressure.  But in terms of the worst is about 150 to 200 feet down because that's like a wall to most divers.  Believe me I've gone down to about 100 ft. and it is like your body is about to be crushed so I can imagine how the guys that go further feel.

Answer 4

the deeper you go.

Answer 5

every 30 feet is a new atmosphere, so when you are 90 feet down, that's 4 atmospheres, the 3 layers under water, and the one above... the deeper you go the greater the pressure

Answer 6

The pressure is greater as you go deeper and you fell the most pressure in your chest(rib cage)
