I want clarify my question a little.  It is my belief that the air comes 
out of the BC in you example due to the fact that it's density is lower 
than that of water( i thing this is just a twist on what you are 
saying).  The pressure MUST be equal between water and air at whatever 
depth you are at due to basic laws of physics ( as stated previously).  
The air is going to be compressed until it exerts enough outward force 
for there to be equilibrium.  So the whole idea of pressure here is 
irrelevent.  Relative density is relevent.  By moving the BC around you 
are just making an exit available for the air to go out of (since we know 
that the air will remain in the highest point of the BC due to the 
density.  Are these statements correct in your mind??  Am I totally out 
of whack here??  I am quite confident that these statements ARE correct.  
Your thoughts??
