One atmosphere is the amount of pressure that can lift water approximately 10.3 meters.
Considering that a diver already experiences 1 ATM of pressure in air, the water depth in meters d, at which the diver would experience n ATM of pressure, is
d = (n - 1) * 10.3
Hence, to experience 3 atmospheres of pressure, you'd need to go ((3-1) * 10.3) = 20.6 meters (67.6 feet) underwater.

Is there more oxygen in shallow water then deep water?
No. There is more oxygen in deeper water.
Why can't photosynthetic organisms grow in the deep water zone?
Photosynthetic organisms need light in order to survive. In very deep water there is no light.
Why does the height of a wave change as it approaches shore?
When a deep-water pressure wave, such as a tsunami, caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, reaches the continental shelf, it compresses the pressure wave created. When the water gets more shallow, the wave height increases; This is simple physics: the speed of the wave actually slows as it enters shallower water. This slowing causes the wave length to shorten, but the kinetic energy contained in the pressure wave doesn't decrease. Thus the peaks get taller and the troughs get deeper.
What is deep sea thermometer?
DEEP-SEA THERMOMETERS- Thermometers used to measure temperatures in ocean depths must be especially constructed to withstand extreme pressure. For example, the pressure at depths of 5 miles is about 12,000 pounds per square inch. Ordinary thermometers could be crushed by such pressure.-punk_princess_080@yahoo.com
A streamlike movement of ocean water located far below the surface?
Deep currents
Does deep sea have high air pressure or high water pressure?
High water pressure.
Is there more pressure at the bottom of a bathtub of water 30cm deep or at a bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep?
There would be more pressure at the bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep. +++ To explain, the pressure is a function purely of depth, not volume.
Why is water pressure greater at the bottom of the deep end of a pool?
The water pressure is greater at the deep end of a pool because there is more water on top of that which adds to the pressure. If there is more water, the pressure wil be higher because there is more water to put weight on it.
Will an egg crack in water?
yes if there is a high pressure on the water(when the water is deep).
Why is density of water more in deep water?
The density of water increases with depth due to the increase in pressure. As water molecules are packed closer together under high pressure, the density of water increases. Therefore, in deep water where the pressure is higher, the density of water is also higher.
The amount of water pressure you experience while swimming in a pool depends on what?
how deep you are in the water.
What is the water pressure at 60ft deep?
About 41.4 psi or 2.85 bar
Why don't deep sea creatures get crushed from water pressure?
It is most likely that they have adapted to the extreme pressure.
What happens diver go deep under water?
You would blow up from water pressure.
How does water pressure work on someone swimming in a pool?
Pressure acts on any body of water, but you have to go really deep to notice the force.
Where will the sea drivers experience more pressure?
deep inside the sea water
What is the pressure of water at the bottom of a swimming pool that is 1.8m deep?
About 17psi at 1.8m
