They found water on Mars - I know what you're thinking...

I drew this today after I heard about the water on Mars.

I must say - that is VERY impressive. Do you mind if I print it and hang on my board at work?

 

[00wabbit]

I don't mind. Just don't sell it

Would that count as diving at altitude?

I'm sure Padi has a specialty.

Vast deposits of water appear to be trapped within the ice caps at the north and south poles of the planet. Each summer, as temperatures increase, the caps shrink slightly as their contents skip straight from solid to gas form, but in the winter, cooler temperatures cause them to grow to latitudes as low as 45 degrees, or halfway to the equator. The caps are an average of two miles (three kilometers) thick and, if melted, could cover the Martian surface with about 18 feet (five.6 meters) of water.

This is really great picture about the water on Mars. I am also like to print it not for selling purpose. Thank you so much for sharing.

Since the water near the surface is probably not liquid I think that this would be deep cave diving but the gravity is less so you will need both altitude and cave training

Interesting point about the gravity there. Does that mean you'd need more weights, or less? Or the same, because the differences cancel out? If so, do I need to calculate the amount of lead by the raw mass of the lead, or the apparent weight? (1 lb of lead weighs less on Mars than it does on Earth...)

Lots of things to consider! I can already envision a new PADI specialty...

The weight will be different, the mass will be the same.. confusing stuff
