How deep can you dive before being crushed?
How Deep Can a Human Dive Before Being Crushed? There is no fixed depth where we can say for sure that a diver will be crushed once they cross a certain depth. Most recreational divers don’t generally go beyond 130 feet, but commercial divers manage to reach depths of 2,000 feet with the help of atmospheric suits.

Can you scuba dive at the Titanic?
You cannot scuba dive to the Titanic due to its depth at 12,500 feet. Diving below 130 feet risks injury and sickness, and requires special training. Limited air, water temperatures and pressures are also problems. Time to reach 12,500 feet is well beyond possible.
What are the dangers of scuba diving?
