I've heard that a petroleum company has a tubular-platform plunging down over a mile beneath the surface in the Gulf of Mexico.
The pressure at the base of that tubular platform is around
160 x 14.7PSI. That's just under 2,400PSI.
I'm told that water, under such pressures, would literally
"explode" if thrust into a low-pressure environment.
