What was the water pressure in the Atlantic Ocean when the Titanic sunk?

The Titanic sank in some two and a half miles of water. Water pressure is measured at 15 lbs per 30 feet of depth. My math isn't the best but I calculate that as about 6000lbs per square inch. At pressures even less than this, the human body is crushed to a pulp. I recall the case of a sea salvage operator working in only 500 feet of water when his air line was cut. The pressure forced his entire body into his helmet.
