Chemistry Question: A scuba diver with a lung capacity of 5.2 L inhales a lungful of air....

A scuba diver with a lung capacity of 5.2 L inhales a lungful of air at a depth of 45 m and a pressure of 5.5 atm. If the diver were to ascend to the surface (where the pressure is 1.0 atm) while holding her breath, to what volume would the air in her lungs expand?

I was thinking of using Boyle's Law:

M1(V1) = M2(V2)

5.2(5.5) = V(1.0)

V = 29L

Is that correct?  Thanks!
