Deepest Place in the Ocean - Challenger Deep
Challenger Deep got its name from the British survey ship Challenger II, which pinpointed the deep water off the Marianas Islands in 1951. Then in 1960, the US Navy sent the Trieste (a submersible - a mini-submarine designed to go really deep) down into the depths of the Marianas trench to see just how far they would go (read the original press release). They touched bottom at 35,838 ft/10,923m. That means, while they were parked on the bottom in the bathyscaphe, there were almost seven miles/11km of water over their heads!
If you cut Mount Everest off at sea level and put it on the ocean bottom in the Challenger Deep, there would still be over a mile of water over the top of it!
Hydrostatic Pressure
When you get into the ocean (or any body of water) and you start diving down from the surface, the deeper you dive the more water is over the top of you. The mor e gallons of water you put between you and the surface of the ocean, the greater the pressure is on your body because of the weight of the water over the top of you. This pressure is called hydrostatic pressure.

==> The pressure would crush a human instantly!

Too deep. Water pressure would crush the human. And we usually can't hold our breath under 20ft.
-
Because we can't take that large amount of pressure
-
We're land animals?
-
I swim goodly!
-
We'd Implode!!
-
The pressure would crush us.
