So 2 bars of sea water would be 10m/33'... What would 2 bars of freshwater would be?? If sea water is denser than freshwater then wouldn't your atmospheres be different in freshwater and if so how much??? I was just wondering if there is a difference from sea water VS fresh water, if so then would there be a freshwater dive chart?? I realize that following the "sea" charts would probably be more "conservative" in Fresh water.. But Theoretically, Wouldn't your bottom times be different in fresh water??? Just curios:confused:..... Thanks.......
 
34 feet, Your computer annd depth guage read pressure not depth or feet, so it doesn't really matter

If you were measuring actual distance from the surface, they could be, but you are measuringing pressure. OTOH, the difference, in linear distance, is less than 1 ft/atm.
