No, unless you mean in water then yes, depending on how deep you go. I saw on discovery that people who deep sea dive have to be decompressed after because the pressure on their lungs when they go so far down into the ocean.

Half right. You've not quite understood decompression.
.
In deep sea diving the body's internal pressure becomes that of its surroundings, more or less. The diver breathes air or a special gas mixture whose pressure fed to the diver is adjusted automatically by the "regulator" valve to be always very slightly below ambient, so he or she can breathe normally through the mouthpiece.
.
What you are talking about - decompression - is to allow nitrogen in the bloodstream to disperse naturally. Too rapid an ascent will make it effervesce, creating bubbles that can lodge in blood-vessels and cause at least severe pain. So the diver stops for a calculated time at certain points on the ascent, to decompress. Sometimes he or she may switch to breathing pure oxygen during this, but at fairly shallow depth, to purge the excess nitrogen from the blood. Even with all these precautions divers still have to be careful what they do for at least a day after the diving day, and diving tourists are told not to dive on the day before they are due to fly home. They go snorkelling or sight-seeing instead.
.
For the deepest dives, specially- calculated mixtures of gas are used to avoid another danger: oxygen poisoning. This occurs when oxygen is breathed at high pressure, .i.e. at quite considerable depth.

How can something on land be measured as below sea level?
Something on land can be measured as below sea level when its elevation is lower than the average level of the world's oceans. This can be determined using a reference point, such as sea level, to calculate the vertical distance below it. Topographic maps and GPS technology are commonly used to measure elevations above and below sea level.

Why is travel down into the ocean written in negative number?
It is because you are going "below" sea level. It is like saying going below zero, since sea level is at zero elevation. If you were to go "below" zero, you would get a negative number, the same with going below sea level. Since you are going below 0 [elevation], you write your elevation below sea level in a negative value.

Which is a higher elevation 40 feet below sea level or 14 feet below sea level?
40 feet below sea level is at a higher elevation than 14 feet below sea level. Elevation is measured by the distance above or below a reference point, such as sea level, so the higher the number below sea level, the lower the elevation.
