    Well that's an extra feature, only their deluxe models offer it

    Thank you, figured if there was a perfect sauce it'd be common practice. Just made me curious to learn something about the physics of it all.

    Thought submarines were supposed to sink...? :P Man I bet that woulda been a trip.

    I meant calculating terminal velocity of an object rising to the surface. I was reading another thread before I posted and they were talking about a sphere rising from 300 meters. Post in thread 'Time it takes for submerged object to rise to surface'...

    Especially if I were going out of town. I wouldn't want to pack all that crap and lug it across the country.

    Thank you! How would you calculate that for a given object? If that's pretty complicated, I would think it would be rather easy to just try it out and time an object coming up from different depths.

    Huh, okay *shrug* I just skimmed a couple articles with some big words I didn't understand lol. Might do some more research on it later.

    Yeah, 30 meters seemed crazy deep, but everything I was reading made it seem like nothing. All I care about is having some fun and seeing some cool dang. In the 80s during the summer, gets down to about 50 or so in the winter. I've got a buddy that runs a dive shop, I've been planning on...

    From what I found, it looks like it might have to do with the magnetic field. That last whale exhaling before diving was interesting. I mean, have you ever tried to hold your breath after exhaling without taking another breath? Much less for 2 hours!

    Sorry it's been a minute, been a crazy couple days. Honestly the op was more a theoretical manifestation of a curiosity, than actually trying to solve a problem I needed to figure out, you know? When I got the idea for a reference object, I realized I didn't even know if the object would...

    Let me clarify something first. When I say free diving, I'm not talking about competitively forcing my body as far as I can into the crazy stupid depths people are doing now. I'm just interested as an extension of snorkeling, for places shallow enough it makes more sense than worrying about a...

    First of all, I'm new to the forum, and rather uneducated, so I apologize this is likely in the wrong section. I've recently (like last night lol) started looking into freediving. I haven't taken any classes or anything yet, so all of this might be common and answered there. However, one of...
