Another Eggs-iting EGGSPERIMENT
What happens when you crack an egg underwater while scuba diving?
This was a simple but effective way to show how pressure works beneath the surface. No tricks, no editing — just real physics doing its thing underwater.
Scuba divers often use everyday objects like eggs to visually explain pressure because it’s much easier to understand when you can actually see it happen. As you descend, water pressure increases, but underwater that pressure is equal in all directions, which is why the egg behaves very differently than people expect.
It’s a small experiment, but a great way to demonstrate how the underwater world follows different rules than the surface.
Why divers do this (fun facts):
Water pressure increases by about 1 atmosphere every 33 feet (10 meters)
Underwater, pressure is evenly distributed, so objects don’t “explode” the way many people assume
Simple experiments help divers understand concepts like Boyle’s Law without complicated theory
Visual demonstrations are commonly used in scuba training to explain pressure and gas behavior
It’s an easy, memorable way to teach real underwater physics
