If the force on the tympanic membrane (eardrum) increases by about 1.50 Nabove the force from atmospheric pressure, the membrane can be damaged. When you go scuba diving in the ocean, below what depth could damage to your eardrum start to occur? The eardrum is typically 8.20 mm in diameter. Take the density of seawater to be equal 1.03\times 10^3 kg/m^3.

im planning on going to Atlantis resort in the Bahamas and they have scuba excursions but i have never tried scuba diving… is it something i can pick up the first time or should i get lessons?

Specifically, we’re staying at The St. Lucian (Rex Resorts) in Rodney Bay, Reduit Beach, Castries, St. Lucia. I enjoy snorkelling and Scuba diving and was wondering whether anyone knows what this place is like for reef, marine life etc.

Any useful links are also appreciated.

Im Going o Hawaii next year and im going scuba diving when im there. I want to catch that on film, but i want one for cheap.
