When diving too deep, scuba divers can experience a temporary impairment of mental functions. This is known as nitrogen narcosis and it occurs when the absolute pressure in a diver's air tank (which is in equilibrium with the surrounding water) exceeds approximately 700000 Pa, because the nitrogen in the air tank becomes poisonous.
How many meters below the surface of the water can a diver go before risking nitrogen narcosis? Take the density of ocean water to be 1030
