About this calculator
A fathom — traditionally the span of a person's outstretched arms, standardized at exactly 6 feet — is a nautical unit long used to measure water depth and the length of rope, chain, and anchor line.
It's still printed on marine charts as depth soundings in a number of countries, and remains standard in commercial diving and anchoring calculations even where most other measurements have gone metric. This converter switches between fathoms and feet in either direction, used by mariners, divers, sailors reading depth soundings, and anyone working with older nautical charts or fishing and anchor-line specifications.
