Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

If I was to take a bucket--flip it over and stick it in a body of water.
Upon pushing it domn the air inside the bucket would compress because water is not compressable. How deep would one have to get the bucket in order to double the air pressure?

About 33 feet of salt water, 34 feet of fresh water.
