Which requires more energy to pump the air down there............You gain nothing.Boyle's Law: Air Volume = 1/ Pressure"We"-? You have not proven any of this wrong.
Not a math person? This means that the deeper you go, the more air compresses. To find out how much, make a fraction of 1 over the pressure. If the pressure is 2 ATA, then the volume of the compressed air is ½ of its original size at the surface.
Every 33 feet of salt water = 1 ATA of pressure

The above proves that an air bubble is compressed to half its size with an increase of one atmosphere in pressure. And the reverse holds true too.
