Although this is a bit academic, it might be of general interest to
someone. The International Standard Atmosphere defines sea level
pressure as 1013.25 hPa; in the bottom part of the atmosphere, this
decreases by approximately 1 hPa every 30 feet. The real-world sea-level
pressure varies daily between (very roughly) min and max of 980 and 1040
hPa, so that's between about 32.8 and 34.8 feet of water.
Here endeth the lesson ;-)

Hectopascals? really?

This is the first time I've ever seen them used.
