In a bathysphere, where the inside is at atmospheric pressure, tens of thousands of feet.
In a hard suit, where the inside is at atmospheric pressure, a thousand feet depending
on the suit. Ditto submarines.
Scuba diving with compressed air, about 100 feet before you get nitrogen narcosis.
Free diving, with weights pulling you down, I think the record is something like 500 feet. People die trying this.
"Technical" diving, with oxygen/argon/helium mixtures, hundreds of feet.
Records are much deeper than people can actually work.
Note: messing around diving with home-made compressors or no training can kill you real fast.

A polar bear would not be found in a deep ocean ecosystem. Polar bears are terrestrial animals that inhabit Arctic regions and are not adapted to survive in deep ocean environments.
How do jellyfish swim in the ocean?
Jellyfish swim by contracting and relaxing their bell-shaped bodies, pushing water behind them to propel themselves forward. This movement is called pulsing, and allows jellyfish to move through the ocean.
Are dolphins nekton?
Yes, dolphins are considered nekton. Nekton are organisms that are capable of swimming actively in the water column, regardless of the direction of water flow. Dolphins are highly efficient swimmers and can actively move through the water to hunt and navigate.
What is the Average precipitation of the deep sea biome?
The deep sea biome typically has very low precipitation since it is located far below the ocean surface where rain does not reach. Instead, the primary source of water in the deep sea biome comes from currents and upwelling of nutrient-rich waters from the ocean depths.
