Type a value in ATA to get it in fsw instantly.

957fsw

That's 3× as deep as a technical dive, while the deepest scuba dive is 1.14× deeper. A lungful of surface air would be squeezed to about one 30th of its volume.

What it means

How much pressure is that?

Seawater adds one atmosphere every 10 m; fresh water needs 10.3 m for the same, because it is less dense.

The math

How to convert ATA to fsw

Depth adds to the atmosphere already above you: ATA = depth in msw ÷ 10 + 1, and in feet ATA = fsw ÷ 33 + 1.

Example: 30 ATA = 957 fsw.
