Mile to Fathom Converter

About Mile (mi) and Fathom (ftm) Units

The Mile (mi) is commonly used in the United States and the UK for road distances (e.g., 10 mi to the next town), marathon running (26.2 mi), and aviation. It's also used in athletics (e.g., 4-minute mile) and car speed limits (mph). The Fathom remains vital in maritime navigation, measuring water depth and anchor chains. One fathom equals 6 feet. For reference, recreational scuba divers typically explore depths of 10-20 fathoms (60-120 feet), while the Titanic rests at about 1,200 fathoms (7,200 feet) below sea level.
