Question
is it possible for a skin diver to dive to any depth as long as his snorkel tube is sufficiently long? note: a snorkel is a face mask with a breathing tube that sticks above the surface of the water. multiple choice
no. although increasing depth doesnt affect the pressure changes in his/her lungs, things can barely be seen in the water.
no. the diver will still be limited by breath-holding time but can manage the pressure difference.
yes, a long enough snorkel will allow the diver to breathe surface air at any depth.
no, the diver will still be limited by breath-holding time and drastic pressure changes.
As depth increases, water pressure rises, causing drastic pressure changes in the diver's lungs (making breathing hard) and the diver can only hold breath for a limited time. So a long snorkel doesn't overcome these limits.
