Intense pressures. That’s the short answer but only diving 50 feet down increases the water pressure to 37 psi. The farthest we’ve ever traveled is at 34,000 feet below and that raises the levels to over 17,500 psi. That type of challenge keeps the work cut out for even the best engineers possible. If anything goes wrong then whatever gets sent down there gets crushed like a shoe stepping on a cracker.
What Deep Ocean Pressure Compares To
Imagine the weight of hundreds or even thousands of elephants standing on your head.
It’s 3,800 meters that equal the average ocean depth and it totals to 380 times greater than it is at the surface.
I like drawing parallels that help grasp the concept of how similar one situation is to another.
One that came to mind is Dragon Ball GT.
It’s the arc dealing with Baby.
If you’re aware of that story then there’s a chance you can get what type of pressure was applied.
