    Let the volume of air be V. at atmospheric pressure, that is 10⁵ Pa

    At 20 m below surface pressure will be

    atmospheric pressure + hdg

    10⁵ + 20 x 9.8 x 1000 = 2.96 x 10⁵Pa

    At this pressure volume V becomes V / 2.96

    This volume will last 1/2.96 times time that is 60/2.96 = 20.27 minutes.
