Mariana Trench in Perspective

[bbianchi]

Found this online and wanted to share. However here's a little background information:
Mariana Trench - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Makes our Monterey and Carmel Canyons seems shallow in comparison. There was a good special on the History Channel a while back linked here about it as well.

Don't forget the spare air. Just in case you run out at 36000 feet

Nice! Thanks.

Better put Nitrox in it, just to get your extra bottom time .

But remember to consult the right dive tables to determine allowable bottom time...

You found my lost fin! Seriously, nicely done.

Someone can't calculate pressure...

The pressure at 13,120 feet is 5877psi (not 11,000psi) and the pressure at 20,000 feet is 9000 psi (not 16,000psi)

Just for reference, a scuba tank that is fully pressurized at the surface will implode around 15,000 ft.

That would be a sight to see...

For anyone needing a dive table for reference:
