CPAP pressures

As we know, CPAP pressures are stated in "cm". I know what cm means, but how does that translate in water pressure? I have been "behind a mask" for nearly 3 years and still don't understand that term.

8 cm H20 at 4deg C
= 0.114 psi
= 0.008 bar

A standard scuba diving air tank has about 200 or 300 bar when it's full.

Does that help??
