Calculations based on Boyle's Law imply that all air from the lungs and bronchi would be transferred to the larynx and trachea by a depth of 270 m and that the larynx itself could...

... successive rings. The structure appears to be advantageous for diving and perfectly designed for withstanding repeated collapse and reinflation.
