Episode 32 - SCUBA - Part 1

In this episode, we introduce the physics and mechanics of SCUBA diving, focusing on how pressure increases with depth and how this affects gas volume, lung function, and breathing. We cover Boyle’s Law, SCUBA equipment basics, and the increased work of breathing underwater. Topics also include hydrostatic pressure's impact on cardiovascular function and how immersion causes fluid shifts and reflexive changes in heart rate and stroke volume.
