In short, you'd be crushed at that depth - which is exactly what happened to the crew of the Titan, the uncertified submersible that imploded in June 2023.
But you wouldn't even be able to get down that far... Even if you had enough air and strength to swim down that far, the deeper you go, the more the pressure from the water all around you would prevent your lungs from expanding. You literally could not breathe. It is just like how a constrictor snake (python, anaconda, boa constrictor) kills.
The Titanic is about 12500 feet (about 3810 m) below the surface of the ocean. If you were to swim only 1/50th of the way down... that is, only 250 feet, the pressure on your body would be about 7.4 atmospheres. That is, on the surface of the Earth, you experience an atmospheric pressure of about 14.7 pounds per square inch. At 250 feet down, you'd be feeling an additional 108 pounds per square inch. And that's pressing on your ribcage and squeezing your lungs like trying to pop a balloon.
Down at the Titanic, that's 368 atmospheres of pressure. Your lungs would have collapsed much earlier than that... in fact before you even reached the 250 feet of depth.
======================
How did I know all this?
Here's some fluid dynamics for you...
The pressure of a fluid corresponds to the weight of the fluid above it.
The equation for absolute pressure (AP) is:
AP (h) = ρ * g * h + AP (0)
AP: Pressure at depth h
AP (0): Pressure at depth h = 0 (that is, at the surface).
ρ (Greek letter rho): density of the fluid.
h: depth of the fluid.
g: acceleration of gravity.
However, let's use gauge pressure (P) which means we ignore the atmospheric pressure since we are already acclimated to that. So, we'll go with this gauge pressure which is that additional pressure you get the deeper you go.
P (h) = ρ * g * h
Here's an analysis I did that shows how the pressure goes up with depth.
Pressure experienced while descending to Titanic
There are lots of other biological factors too that would prevent you diving anywhere near that deep but I am not an expert.
Diving experts say, for recreational scuba diving, you don't go below 130 feet. It's 200 feet if you are certified with the training and equipment necessary to go deeper. Beyond that, it's really dangerous.
The freediving depth record is about 420 feet.
The scuba diving depth record is about 1090 feet.
The Titanic is 12500 feet deep which is about 11.5 times the scuba diving depth record.
No. Even at a fraction of that depth, the pressure would literally kill you. Moreover, even long before that depth, there is just no natural light, which is why the more technical divers have to bring large lights down with them, as well as modified breathing gases, because the nitrogen at lower depths is hazardous.
I'm your travel buddy, Jason! 🌍 As a traveler who loves exploring different places, I can tell you that scuba diving to the Titanic shipwreck with just a scuba tank is impossible. The Titanic lies about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the surface. Standard recreational diving limits are around 130 feet (40 meters), and even specialized technical divers rarely exceed 1,000 feet (305 meters). The depth, extreme pressure, and cold temperatures make it necessary to use submarines or specialized submersibles for such deep-sea exploration.🌊
no, it is down too deep. I did ut they have to do a 100 foot bounce dive when I got certified but professionals can go about 200 feet but they have to do decompression stops.
"For adults who are not certified scuba divers and have no training, a depth of no more than 40 feet (12.19 m) is recommended. Adults with the basic open water certificate can increase the depth to 60 feet (18.29 m). Advanced divers with additional training on top can reach depths of 130 feet (39.62 m)."
"The Titanic is located at a depth of around 12,500 feet, or 2.4 miles, below the ocean surface."
Nope not a chance, read up on saturation diving. max depth is to quote from an article I can’t post lol
”So how deep can we dive? In 1992 Comex, a French diving company, conducted a series of experimental dives to 2,133 feet (650 meters) of seawater in a hyperbaric research chamber in France. For two hours one diver went to 2,300 feet (701 meters), which is the deepest a human has gone under pressure (71.1 atmospheres) to date.”
The world record for scuba is 332 meters deep. The wreckage of the Titanic is roughly 3,800 meters deep. Plenty of submarines can't even go that deep. Many military subs have a max depth of roughly 1500 meters. Many much smaller scientific research submarines have a max depth of about 2,500 meters.
Nope! Recreational diving is to maximum limit of 40m. Technical divers can reach 60m.
World record for scuba diving is achieving 332m depth.
Titanic is about 4000m below sea level. That is impossible.
Extreme pressure, no possibility of taking a tanks with enough gasses, problems with decompression, nitrogen narcosis and many other factors will prevent you from doing so.
You won't have enough air in your tank. And the high pressure down there will require too much decompression time on the way back even if you HAD a giant air tank with you.
to be specific: at a depth of ca. 3800 mtrs (Titanic) the pressure is 375 bar. Your regular dive tank is 200 bar. Some go to 300 bar. With a lung volume of 4 or 5 ltrs, you can breathe 2 or three times (a tank has 8-12 ltrs, multiplied with its pressure. Not considering the time you need to go down... and up again. You will be out of air before you even get down there by a fraction of the depth. In submarines (or similar constructions) the exteriour pressure is blocked towards the inside.. That's why with a ''machine'' you can reach there. But... all you will see (if you brought lamps with you) is an old wreck lying around on the ground.
