Transcription

in your studies of the physics of diving and the mathematics pertaining to diving you have learned the pressures that are exerted by a colum water on the human body the reason why we are able to send the human being into deep water with comparative Comfort is due to the fact that about 7/10 of the body as a whole is composed of a liquid the sea exerts pressure on the body due to the flexibility of this diving dress with the exception of the parts contained in the metal helmet and breastplate that part must be exer that pressure must be exerted in order to keep the body in an equilibrium and is exerted by the air pressure which the diver has control of through his control valve one of the first things that is necessary for the divers that the learn is the Fine Art of the balancing of those pressures because the pressure in your lungs is a pressure it's in the helmet at this exhaust valve found the pressure over the lungs exerted by the sea is a pressure at that point enough in your studies the mathematics and physics of diving you have learned about the Press of sea water and the natural laws of gases the reason that we are able to send a human being into deep water with comparative safety is because the 710 of the human body as a whole is composed of a liquid the pressure of the seed is transmitted to the body by reason of the diving dress being flexible for all parts except that which is contained within the metal helmet and breastplate that pressure must be exerted in order to keep the body in an equilibrium of pressure and is exerted by the air which is supplied through your control valve of which you have the control of by the air which is supplied for the breathing purposes as the pressure in the lungs is the air pressure at the exhaust Val and the pressure over the lungs is a sea pressure at that point of the breastplate it is necessary for the DI to learn how to balance that pressure so as to keep his body in an equilibrium at the same time be able to breathe comfortably and with freedom at all times no look those care down put his on all right here get all those laces and Lace those La legs up tight because all right I'll be careful his teeth don't forget to put in your jack put your Jacks and make good connection on those helmet telephone all ready go down telephone right all right come be care his tee man lift up your make sure your connection got a good connection there open upal give about three turns on see how all together close together fellas One [Music] all right then right that's number three I just your your Bel up the bot then pull it well then put it on in back that pull those laces up tight because you got a lot of mud down worst part of got test not a minute that put jack hello all right all right okay on a phone oh close place all right slack three taking slack four coming up [Music] pick up the stage go away off the stage on the bottom get off all L away a grand got a Rest Drive [Music] tell them how much it weigh all ready all right coming up [Music] hi all right
