    I'm on my way to do some SCUBA diving in beautiful Hawaiian waters, and I'm trying to remember someone's law that applies to that high pressure sport. Any help?

    		You must be thinking of Boyle's Law, which states that "If the temperature remains constant, the volume of a given mass of gas will be inversely proportional to the absolute pressure."

    Without getting too technical, what this law "boyles" down to for persons using compressed air from a SCUBA tank is, don't hold your breath!

    		Ah yes! Must remember to equalize periodically, perhaps with thoughts of the coming luau.
