Our bodies have an internal pressure equal to that of the atmosphere (101000 pascals). Once the external pressure on you body exceeds this internal pressure enough your body will implode. This external pressure can be provided by water. Depending on how you go about going that far below water and the specific tolerances of your body a deadly depth can be from 500 to 1200 feet.

What does water pressure mean?
Water pressure refers to the pressure of water in a system. In a home it will be 30-50 psi typically and this is governed by the municipal pressure or by a well tank.
House water pressure?
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
Will adding another water heater boost the water pressure in the house in addition to giving more hot water?
No and yes. No, you won't get more water pressure. To do that you'll need to find out why the water pressure is low. Perhaps flow restriction, perhaps a poorly adjusted water pressure regulator, perhaps low pressure from the well/city water. But an additional water heater will certainly give you more hot water. It would be like putting in a LARGER water heater. In most cities the water pressure required is about 20 PSI. Small city's do not add pressure pumps to their system but use a gravity supply. That is why most places there is a pressure problem either build their water tanks taller or erect them on a hill.
How do you improve water pressure in a house?
you can improve water pressure by installing a booster pump or if on a well then turn up your set pressure. If you had good pressure before and now are having poor pressure then it could be many reasons.
What should you do if your main water pressure is to high?
Call the water board, if you can't turn the pressure down on the boiler.
Why do scientists use sea-exploration robots?
They use the sea-exploration robots to look and explore places in the ocean where it is not safe for human divers. There are certain parts of the ocean where the pressure from the water can crush a human being and ultimately kill them. If the water pressure does not crush the human there is the chance and the equipment could be damaged also ending in termination. Also under the water it can be difficult to sea hence why cameras and technology are involved.
Can you fight water pressure?
No, because water have actually more pressure than any human beings or other animals species. Water pressure could increase and decrease.
What happens if a human body is crushed by water pressure?
They are crushed
Can you fight against water pressure?
No, because water have actually more pressure than any human beings or other animals species. Water pressure could increase and decrease.
The infusion of how much water into a human's blood system would kill a person?
the infusion of how much water would kill a person
What is the maximum water pressure a human can with stand?
No one knows exactly how much pressure the human body can withstand, but it is deeper than 1,500 feet.
Do hammerhead sharks live in the abyssal zone?
No. the pressure of the water would kill them.
Where is a chart of the pressure points on the human body?
There are 365 pressure points on the human body and 365 accupressure points
Can human drink sea water to stay healthy?
No, sea water will quickly dehydrate you and eventually kill you.
Does water kill some plants?
Of course it can, water can drown a plant just like it can drown a human
What is pressure on human body at 30 foot dept of water?
Every one feet the pressure raises by 24.9 psi.
Can a water moccasin snake kill a person?
The venom of a Mangrove snake is not considered potent enough to cause death in humans.
