The thick, heavy steel of its hull, combined with design elements such as internal steel crossbeams withstand the pressure of water pushing against them from outside. Only a few special research subs can actually go all the way to the bottom of the oceans. Most military submarines can only go down about 1000 feet before the water pressure is too great.

Why might a submarine be crushed if it sinks too low in the ocean?

Submarine hulls are subject to sea pressure, and that pressure increases the deeper the submarine goes. There are design limits to the amount of pressure that a hull can take, and if that pressure is exceeded by diving too deep, the hull will fail and will be crushed.
