Best Answer

Too far and you may severely damage bones and organs, not enough and the compressions may not be effective.

(The breaking of some ribs during CPR is somewhat expected, but you don't want to crush organs or anything like that.)

Does the pressure in a liquid depend solely on its depth?

No. Density and Depth Liquid pressure = weight density x depth As long as the liquid is incompressible (which is a good approximation), Yes. During WWII it was necessary to compress various high explosives to use as detonators. A system was devised to lower rubber bags of high explosive into deep ocean trenches. The explosive was as hard as glass and could be cut into suitable pieces easily. Bell Ross makes a "Hydromax" wrist watch with a pressure depth rating of 11,110 Meters, which is the deepest depth in the ocean.
