Best Answer

Only in a deep-sea submersible- certainly no Scuba diver can dive down anywhere NEAR that far, as she lies at such a massive depth. The Titanic wreck is 2 and half MILES down on the floor of the North Atlantic, where the water pressure is over 2 tons to the square inch- no diver could survive such colossal pressure, and in any case, it would take them so long to swim down there that their oxygen supply would run out before they got to the bottom. The furthest down a scuba diver can go is about 500 feet.

People can only reach the wreck site in special deep-sea submarines, that are specifically built to cope with the extreme conditions, such as the submersible Alvin that was used by Dr. Robert Ballard when he discovered the wreck in May 1985.

no it can not

Well, only if in a deep-sea submersible. Scuba divers certainly can't go anywhere NEAR that far down- the Titanic lies at 2.5 MILES depth, where the water pressure is over 2 tons to the square inch- no diver could survive such massive pressure, and in any case, it would take them so long to swim down there that their oxygen supply would run out before they reached the bottom.

Yes, many of the passengers lost their life because they were pulled under by the suction of the ship when she sank.
