The video tutorial explains the concept of barotrauma, a condition caused by rapid pressure changes under the sea, affecting fish like the yelloweye rockfish. It discusses Boyle's Law, which describes how gas volume is inversely related to pressure, affecting air-filled spaces in fish and divers. The tutorial also covers Henry's Law, explaining how nitrogen dissolves in a diver's tissues at high pressure, leading to decompression sickness if not managed properly. Finally, it describes methods for safely returning fish to their habitat using recompression techniques.
