As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which compresses the gases in their blood. What happens to the volume of gas in their blood as the diver rises quickly to the surface?

Answer:

The volume of gas in an early diving bell full of air at sea level is halved at 10 m according to Boyle’s law

Step-by-step explanation:

;at 20 m pressure is 300 kPa absolute and the gas is compressed into one third the volume.
