As a scuba diver, it is very cool. That said, I already have 5 Rolex dive watches.

The Tongue of the Ocean is as deep as I go!

Consider the following:

The Challenger Deep is the deepest-known point of the seabed of Earth, with a depth of 10,902–10,929 m (35,768–35,856 ft) by direct measurement from deep-diving submersibles, remotely operated underwater vehicles and benthic landers, and (sometimes) slightly more by sonar bathymetry.

I would safely say, there is no deeper place on this planet. That said, you’ll be fine with this new Rolex Deepsea Challenge. :)

Salt water has a pressure of 43.2psi per 100ft.
43.2 x 358 (rounded off) = 15,466psi on the Deepsea Challenger should it (you?) reach the bottom. It might survive, but you would be reduced in size by about 40% (we are ~60% water, which is incompressible).

Maximum depth for a sport scuba diver is 130’ / roughly 4 atmospheres.

I once did a 210ft dive with a Master Diver in the Bahamas - 1975.
Had to do decompression stops back up, and no more diving for 24 hours.
It was a fun, scary experience!
