Maths of SCUBA Diving - Dalton's Law

This is the first in a series of posters trying to promote mathematics through a different avenue - SCUBA diving.

I’ll try and compile an area of SCUBA diving alongside with a relevant area of mathematics in the National Curriculum, how far I can get will depend, but there is a high amount of mathematics in SCUBA diving.

This week I’ve started with a nice gas law called Dalton’s Law - it requires a bit of understanding of how pressure in BAR increases with depth underwater. (I’ll release something on this at a later point). But this could be a nice research topic for yourself and your class - maybe even come up with a formula relating depth to BAR.

I hope this is of use to some people - please rate/review if it is.

Sorry for the shameless plug of my little Mat Duxbury Diving logo. Trying to promote the sport to others too!
