How does Pascal's Preinciple relate to diving?

Pascals principle basically says when pressure is applied to a fluid, in this case water it is transmitted equally to every point of the fluid in the walls. This would allpy becuase when you dive it the pressure would spread evenly throuout the pool. It is cool.

Pascal Principle states that a change in the pressure of an enclosed incompressible fluid is conveyed undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the surfaces of its container. When you dive in water (a fluid) the pressure would evently spread throughout. They relate very well.

THe PP states that a change in the pressure of an enclosed incompressible fluid is conveyed undiminished to every part of the fluid nad surfaces of its container. When you dive, it spreads evenly throughout the pool.

Pascal's Principle states that the pressure will be evenly distributed. When diving, the princple will remain constant on the part of the body in the water. The means you will have the water's pressure on the part that is in and less pressure on the top. This affects how you dive.

Pascal's principle says that when pressure gets up on a fluid it is distributed throughout the fluid. This applies to diving because when you dive the fluid is being put throughout the entire pool, not just the part that you hit with your body. This is why chineese people can dive so well in the olympics...kinda not really at all but i needed another sentance so there you go.
