NARRATIVE
               The Cartesian Diver is used to illustrate transmission of pressure by a liquid, Archimedes' Principle, and the compressibility of gases.

            Squeeze the sides of the container. As pressure is increased, the Diver will descend and will rise when pressure in decreased.
