I recently took a week of vacation to go scuba diving in the Caribbean. In the middle of a dive, at about 80 feet down, this idea came to my mind: <\/span>I need to make a scuba diving simulator!<\/span><\/div>
I have thought about creating this simulation before, but I always ended up struggling with one thing or another. Typically, I would get stuck when trying to add the effect of depth on the diver's lungs and the <\/span>buoyancy control device (BCD)<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/div>
