I hate “delta p” so much, as in the term. I’m convinced divers just used it so they could sound even more elitist and like astronauts when they’re just dudes with a few grand and nothing better to do. Erm, akshualy that isn’t a vacuum, that’s a device that’s creates delta p. P stands for pressure and delta is a scientific notation for change. Cool dude, now finish delta p-ing your fucking room.

Hey… Some of us just like blowing bubbles and hanging out with fish.
It is pretty fun, but to be honest not worth the money if you have to pay for the training yourself, especially if you don’t live near a good diving spot.

yeah, this is very true. I’d love diving tropical stuff every day but don’t want to live where it’s warm lol; where I live there are some crazy folks who drysuit dive all the time, but even then it’s waaaay too cold for me. I want the water warm but the rest nice and cool lol
Static pressure on it’s own doesn’t really “do” anything though. You could have the thinest piece of solid material with 10 million atmospheres on either side and the material doesn’t care since forces cancel out. Difference in pressure is where shit goes pop or crush depending on the direction.
