<strong>Math</strong> is an important part of scuba diving. You have to<br />

know formulas like Boyle’s law. You have to read tables to<br />

make sure you do not get decompression illness. You<br />

need to know air consumption rates so you do not run out<br />

of air.<br />

affect your direction back to the boat.<br />

So as you can see, you can not be a safe diver without<br />

general math knowledge.
