Amounts of pressure within 33 ft?

[dmcutter]

No, you feel the same pressure no matter what thickness the wet suit.

As the water inside the wet suite is exerting the same pressure in every direction as the water outside the suit, you may feel the suit constriction relax though.

Sorry, I should have included an emoticon to show that I was being facetious, much like the previous post about conical hats.

Gees dude, I went to a lot of trouble to answer that too. I think you can lose your posting privileges for the improper or non use of Moties. :blinking:

Duly noted. I will be more careful in the use of Moties. But in answer to your response, since I don't get as much water in my 8 mm semidry suit as one would in a wetsuit, but my suit has more neoprene to compress, what should I feel in that case? Besides warmer than someone in a wetsuit...

If the PSI is doubled over the first 33 ft, does this mean that the same pressure experienced at 10ft would be the same at 15ft, 20, 25 all the way to 33?

If you are asking if from the surface to 33' the pressure is the same then all the sudden at 33' you BAM are hit with a 2nd atmosphere or pressure, then no, it doesnt work like that You have been given good examples of how to figure the pressure exerted on you.

I believe they call it nut squeeze if you don't get enough water in your semi wet. :shocked2:

For future reference, please note the correct use of Moties.

I guess nut squeeze could be mitigated by peeing to equalize pressure inside the suit then.

You're all nuts!

That's what I always thought. Sounds logical. But I posed a question years ago on SB: If you sank a tube (that was just wide enough to fit a diver) 100' into the ground and filled it with water, would the pressure on a diver at the bottom be the same as that on a diver down 100' in the ocean? The resounding answer from most was YES. It's only the water directly on top of you that affects you. Still hard to believe. Anyone want to rehash this?

This is a good one: Pressure Depth in a Cave

ya this is a good answer as any and there is really no other way to answer it.

You could wear split fins, and since they are so fast you could swim between the water molecules thus avoiding the pressure altogether!
