The Diving Medium - Water
Water is one of the most fascinating compounds on earth. It sustains life... and it can destroy it. In may ways, water is life. We encounter it everyday - one way or the other. Yet when we dive, it takes on a new property: it changes from a surface to a volume.
This presentation explores the miracle of water from the perspective of physics; we explore buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, Pascal's principle, waves, breakers, Tsunamis and even how our body's are fueled by the formation of water.
We hope you will enjoy this 22 minute investigatory celebration of - WATER!
