At very low depths, water pressure becomes exceedingly high. If a submarine submerges below it's depth tolerance, the water pressure outside will exceed the limits of the pressure hull which maintains a normal air pressure for the crew. This will collapse the hull. This is referred to an implosion because the destruction comes from the outside in a crushing manner.

How does water pressure affect a submarine?
When a submarine goes farther down in the water, the water pressure becomes greater. If the submarine goes to far, pipes can explode and let in water, or it can implode the submarine
Why is it dangerous for submarine to dive below its maximum depth?
Excessive water pressure at depth would implode the Sub destroying it and all soles within.
Do submarines implode when they sink?
Only if they sink beyond their stress limit (crush depth). Subs are built to withstand the pressures very deep and will not "implode" unless they sink in very deep water. Don't forget; It is very rare for a submarine to sink with its pressure hull intact. Why would it sink when it is not taking on water? When it is taking on water and sinking, the water will enter the submarine at enormous pressures so the submarine will be flooded before it implodes. If, during the sinking, a compartment was sealed off from the compartment that is flooding it could implode but normally something else will give way (a hatch or a pipe) and so that compartment will also be flooded.

What happens when a submarine reaches crush level?
When a boat reaches its crush depth limit, the inner pressure hull succumbs to the extreme outer sea pressure, causing the hull to implode.

Why does a planet implode?
Implode is when objects collapse and are destroyed in the process. Implosion usually involves a difference between lower and higher pressure, or inward and outward forces, that is so large or heavy that the structure collapses inwards into itself.
