Can a person dive 1000 feet?
Diving to a depth of 300 meters, or 1,000 feet, is the “holy grail” of deep diving. In 2001, a diver named John Bennett first achieved this depth, and the same depth has been reached just a handful of times since. The deepest dive in the world ever made was by the Egyptian Scuba Diver Ahmed Gamal Gabr in 2014. How Deep Can I Dive Before Being Crushed? It’s hard to pinpoint a specific depth below which a diver will be crushed. Most recreational divers rarely dive deeper than 130 feet. But commercial divers can use atmospheric suits to descend to depths up to 2,000 feet.
