A look at Titanic wreck ocean depth and water pressure — and how they compare to the deep sea as a whole.
The pressure in the trench is 8 tons per square inch, but still, life exists, NOAA says. Single-celled organisms called foraminifera were discovered in the Challenger Deep – the deepest point in the trench – in 2005.
According to a former employee of OceanGate Expeditions, which built the Titan, the submersible was only equipped to withstand a pressure of 1,300 meters or about 4,265 feet. That employee, submersible pilot David Lochridge, After a desperate and days-long search, debris from the submersible was found about 1,600 feet from the Titanic wreckage and it was determined the sub imploded just hours into its dive, killing all five passengers on board.
