Hello,
Oh dear me I goofed again. I used 3.3 instead of 3.28084.
And omar you are again incorrect.
The correct answer is, indeed:
32.5 meters = 106.6273 feet
28.5 meters = 93.50394 feet
Thanks for reminding me...

Hello,
I stand corrected yet again. Technicaly.
1 MSW=
(0.1 bar)* [(1 atm)/(1.01325 bar)] * [(33.08 FSW) / (1 atm)]
= 3.2678421662965704416481618554157 feet
Therefore
32.5 meters = 106.10412040463853935356526030101 feet
28.5 meters = 93.045151739452257586972612879349 feet
BTW:
The 33.08 FSW is from the Journal of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine and the us navy. (most people just use 33 FSW)
The 1.01325 bar is 101.325 kPa = 760 mm Hg.
Actualy.
However when you convert (assuming the are stating 1 bar is sea level and 33 FSW is used) the deviation is 1.3% between the two systems. My original numbers of 107 feet and 94 feet is IN acceptable normal deviation of the formula.

Whoa... Pete, that wah-wah thing - far too scary to even read to the end of the article. I can't understand why people would want to do that... but then I'm a candy-@$$'d rec diver - despite my telling y'all I've been to 78m! 
(oops!)
Re: above posts - How about we just keep all the figures nice and rounded off and simple for those of us who are not too up on all the maths and technical jargon?
Thanks, guys

Guys... we can surely find something more worthwhile to fuss about can't we? I mean seriously... does it really matter?

Hey Alison,
I gotta agree with you... We were required to round to three significant figures all the way through Organic Chemistry (which is how far I got before I changed majors). Higher precision (more numbers) does not equal higher accuracy. I think all them thar scientific types still use that standard. :tease:
Oh yeah... the wahwah "thing"... I couldn't finish it either. It has seemed to have really affected him ALOT! It makes his writing way scary.
