Hi Carsten here..

In a dive deep of 150 meter (equal to 15000 cm or 15000000 mm or 0,15
km) 
is a water pressure of 15 bar or 15000 mbar equal of a water load of 150
t per square meter
or 15000 Kg per square meter with a volume of 15000 Liter or 150 m3
(freshwater)
- thats metric .. it takes me 30 seconds to write it down - and I nee no
calculator to do it.. 

At 500 feet are how many fathoms ? miles ? inch ? Which pressure psi is
equal to this deep ? 
or which water load in pound - and how long takes it for a person, which
use normaly imperial units,
to figure it out ? 

Just asking.. :-)
