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.

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.
