Hi Jay.
I have heard mention of syntactic foam here before.
How does it keep from compressing the air trapped in the foam
from water pressure at depth? I gues the glass
spheres wouldn't compress, but how does the foam not squash from the
water pressure?
Thanks, Bill.

floatation
Rick,
Typically syntactic
foam is used for buoyancy in deep diving vessels. It is a solid foam
matrix laced with small glass spheres.
