, A dive team diving in a freshwater lake in the summer is at - 132 cubic inches (2.16 liters)
a depth of 20ft (6 meters). The water temperature at this
depth is 85°F (29°C) and one diver in the team has 244
cubic inches (4 liters) of air in her BC. As the team
descends to a depth of 60 feet (18 meters), they pass
through a thermocline and the water temp is now 55°F
(12°C). If the diver with 244 cubic inches (4 liters) of air in
her BC did not add or remove any air from the
compensator, the new volume in her BC after arrival at 60
feet (18 meters) would be how many liters?
- 193 cubic inches (3.16 liters)
- 152 cubic inches (2.50 liters)
- 187 cubic inches (3.06 liters)
- 132 cubic inches (2.16 liters)
