Got to wondering what the pressure would be like down there.
Apparently, 10.32 atmospheres, which = 151.66 PSI or 1045 kPa (most car tires are inflated to a range from ~32 PSI / 220 kPa to a max of 44 PSI / 303 kPa).

Something to think about the next time you're wondering what's wrong with your SeaGlide as you explore that wreck at ~100m or deeper.
