Re: about water pressure

Structurally, the human body can withstand an extremely high pressure - as long as it is equalized, it doesn't really have much effect. The problem is being able to breathe without getting the wrong combination of gases into your bloodstream. If I remember from the movie correctly, they took something like two weeks to decompress when coming to the surface to avoid the bends. No one has yet tried something like that.

Re: about water pressure

Could be - but we don't know for sure.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_diving, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimix_(breathing_gas), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_diving and many other pages linked from these; it should give you some general feeling about problems and technology used in diving.
