Answer

$\therefore$ the pressure gauge attached to his wrist will register this drop in air pressure

Work Step by Step

P2 = P1 + ρgh In the above relation, the pressure at a given point depends on the vertical distance h. Here P2 = Pressure at depth of h (i.e on the wrist of a scuba driver). P1 = Pressure on the surface. Since, when the strom approches $P_1$ $\downarrow$ from the above relation $P_2$ $\downarrow$ Hence, the pressure gauge attached to his wrist will register this drop in air pressure
