That's not true.
100 atmospheres is about 1000 meters.
~300 meters (~30 atmospheres) is the world records reached with Scuba equpment.
An ADS got a navy diver down to ~2000 feet (60 atmospheres).
And the deepest a human has gone in a submersible vehicle is 35,858 which only barely clears 1000 atmospheres (~1060).
