The answer to this question is because the deeper a human goes underwater, the higher the atmospheric pressure is on the body. An average, in shape human body can only withstand being 1,000 feet underwater. The Mariana trench (deepest part of the worlds oceans) is 36,201 feet deep. With the help of technology, the depths of the ocean are within our reach. Some newer technology allows humans to actually go deeper, while the technology that allows us to reach the deepest parts of the oceans, only have cameras onboard to show us what is there from the safety of the surface. An atmospheric hard-shell dive suit is a robotic type suit that allows the person wearing it to dive to depths up to 2,000 feet. They look more like a space suit than an underwater outfit. Submarines also allow people to go to depths beyond human ability. Some submarines are manned and some are remote controlled with cameras mounted on them. [] [] ​
