A diver 3 meters below a glacier fed lake in the Rocky Mountains or a diver 3 meters below the Great Salt Lake? Why?

Is there a great salt lake?? Salt is the key. salty water has bigger density than fresh, glacier lake. So = density*g*depth. salty lake has greater pressure.

The diver in the Great Salt Lake would feel the greater pressure, but the pressure would be from all directions, not just from above. The pressure is caused by the higher salinity, higher solution density.

A diver is the great Salt Lake will feels more pressure.Since salt makes the water more dense.
and pressure=depth*density*G
So higher the density more the pressure!!!
but i doubt there well be a diff u can "feel"

Great Salt lakes.........because the air pressure is greater there than in the higher altitude.

salt lake. salt = denser
