the pressure at sea level is called 1 atmosphere (ata) of pressure, and it is equal to 760mmHg /

30inHg / 14.7psi or 1 bar.

Absolute pressure = Gauge Pressure + Atmospheric Pressure. Atmospheric pressure at sea level= 1 Bar
which also equals 1 ATM (Atmosphere) which also = 14.7 PSI. All those three are equivalent, just in
different units. So in order to get an Absolute pressure, one has to add the gauge pressure + the
atmospheric Pressure. ATA is absolute.
Example, at a depth of 0 meters (Sea level) a gauge would read 0 Bar/0ATM/0PSI. In order to get the
absolute pressure at sea level you need to add the Gauge pressure of 0 and the atmospheric pressure of
1 BAR/1 ATM. 0 ATM (gauge) + 1 ATM (atmosphere) = 1 ATA. So the ATA at sea level is 1 ATA.
Pressure increases by 1 ATA for every 10M or 33FT.
Now at a depth of 10 meters the gauge pressure is now 1 BAR/1ATM. In order to get the absolute
pressure at this depth, you need to take the gauge pressure of 1 BAR/1ATM and add atmospheric
pressure which remains constant at 1BAR/1ATM. That is how you get the 2 ATA at a depth 10 M or 33FT.
