Answer: Boyle's Law

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's Law which is also called Mariotte's law was formulated by physicist Robert Boyle in 1662.

It posits that the pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature.

As the Scuba Diver went deeper, the volume of air dropped so the pressure increased.
