Humans are accustomed to the comfortable atmospheric pressure, which is 14.7 pounds of light air on the surface of the earth.The ocean, on the other hand, is very dense. The human body is mostly made of water, so as we dive down into the ocean, its not the pressure of the ocean, but the fact that humans need air in their lungs. Deep sea creatures on the other hand, are diverse from us. The Hadalpelagic Zone is the last and deepest zone in the ocean. The deepest spot can be found at the Mariana Trench of the coast of Japan and it's depth is more than 10.900 meters. The pressure is just so high but there is still there are creatures like the __ [|**Viperfish**] __ and the __ [|**Angler fish**] __ that can live in these depths. Their bodies are accustomed to it and if they go into a zone of the ocean with lower pressure, they would die.
