Thus if the instrument depends on the pressure or suction effect alone, and this pressure or suction is measured against the air pressure in an ordinary room, in which the doors and windows are carefully closed and a newspaper is then burnt up the chimney, an effect may be produced equal to a wind of 10 mi / h ( 16 km / h ); and the opening of a window in rough weather, or the opening of a door, may entirely alter the registration.

New divers frequently consume all the air in a standard " aluminum 80 " cylinder in 30 minutes or less on a typical dive, while experienced divers frequently dive for 60 to 70 minutes at the same average depth, using the same capcity cylinder, as they have learned more efficient diving techniques.
A consequence of the higher loading in some tissues is that many decompression algorithms require deeper decompression stops than a similar decompression dive using air, and helium is more likely to come out of solution and cause decompression sickness following a fast ascent.
A player may sometimes perform a " dive ", i. e., throw his or her body in the air with a forward movement in an attempt to save the ball, and land on his or her chest.

Plunge diving allows birds to use the energy from the momentum of the dive to combat natural buoyancy ( caused by air trapped in plumage ), and thus uses less energy than the dedicated pursuit divers, allowing them to utilise more widely distributed food resources, for example, in impoverished tropical seas.
Also air combat tactics and doctrines changed, large scale strategic bombing campaigns were launched, fighter escorts introduced and the more flexible aircraft and weapons allowed precise attacks on small targets with dive bombers, fighter-bombers, and ground-attack aircraft.
When introduced these were almost exclusive to dive bombers, though the air brakes fitted to modern aircraft function in a similar manner.
