10916 metres!
This is the maximum depth reached by humans with pressure reaching almost 2000 times of Surface Level.
Although, the deepest known point is called the Challenger Deep, at a depth of 11033m.
Surprisingly this is believed to cover only 5% of depth of the Oceans!
95% of it is still believed to be undiscovered, and there may lie even deeper Points than the Challenger Deep with probabilities of finding new life forms.
Analyzing this depth in parts, will give you a better picture of the enormous oceans and its depths.
This will leave you stunned.
40m (131ft)- The average depth for recreational Scuba diving.
93m (305ft)- Wreck of ocean Liner RMS Lusitania lies, which was sunk by a submarine in World War-1.
214m (702ft)- Maximum depth recorded in Free diving by Herbert Nitsch.
332m (1090ft)- Maximum depth recorded in scuba diving by Ahmed Gabr. Pressure here is 28 times of Surface Level.
443m (1453ft)- This is the point where the tip of the Empire state building will lie if submerged in the oceans
500m (1640ft)- This is the average diving depth of most Sea Whales.
535m (1755ft)- This is the maximum diving depth of the Emperor Penguins, the tallest and largest penguins.
732m (2400ft)- Maximum diving depth of most modern Nuclear Submarines.
830m (2722ft)- This is the point where the tip of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, will lie if submerged in the oceans.
1000m (3280ft)- This place is called the Midnight Zone. Sunlight cannot penetrate the oceans beyond this point, and it remains dark thereafter.
1280m (4200ft)- This is the maximum diving depth of Leather back sea Turtles.
1828m (5997ft)- This is the depth where the deepest point of Grand Canyon would lie if submerged in ocean
2000m (6561ft)- At this depth, a carnivore fish which absorbs light is found called the Black Dragon Fish.
2992m (9816ft)- The maximum depth reached by any mammal i.e. The Cuvier Beaked whale.
3810m (12500ft)- The wreckage of the popular ocean liner the RMS Titanic lies here at this depth.
4000m (13123ft)- This region is called The Abyssal Zone. Pressure here is at a staggering 11,000 PSI. It's similar to the pressure experienced, if a man is asked to lift 50 Boeing 737 jet liners!
4267m (14000ft)- This is the average depth of the Oceans.
4791m (15718ft)- The depth where the wreckage of the German battleship Bismarck lies.
6000m (19685ft)- The depth which is called The Hadal Zone. It includes the deepest trenches of the ocean. The pressure here is 1100 times that of surface level.
8848m (29029ft)- The point at which the tip of the Mt. Everest will lie if submerged in oceans.
10732m (35210ft)- The place called as the Sirena deep. It is the 2nd known deepest point of the oceans.
10898m (35726ft)- The depth travelled by Director James Cameroon in DCV-1 as part of Deep sea challenger Mission
10916m (35797ft)- The deepest level humans have travelled so far below the ocean. This was accomplished by Jacques Piccard & Don Walsh in 1960. The crew stayed there for 20mins before developing a crack in the window.
10972m (35997ft)- The depth equivalent to the average height at which a commercial airliner flies
11033m (36200ft)- The deepest known point discovered on earth called the Challenger Deep.
If it's infact only 5% depth of the earth ocean, it is unimaginable to think of the pressure, the depth and what lies beneath at this depth of the oceans!
Mind Blown?
