How pressure and volume move together

Boyle’s Law describes the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. As one goes up, the other comes down proportionally.

Constant temperature

Core idea

For a fixed amount of gas, the product of pressure and volume stays constant. That makes Boyle’s Law one of the most useful quick-reference relationships in diving and chamber work.

✓ When pressure increases, volume decreases proportionally
✓ When pressure decreases, volume increases proportionally
✓ The product P × V remains constant for a fixed amount of gas

Use it for

Quick checks on changing gas volumes, estimating expansion or compression, and teaching or revising the basic gas law logic behind diving calculations.

✓ Surface to depth volume changes
✓ Pressure changes in chambers
✓ Gas law exam revision and practical planning
