- Retric 4y agoWater is largely incompressible decreasing in volume by 1.8% at the sea floor a 4km under the ocean, so returning to the surface doesn’t cause creatures to explode dramatically.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water#Compressibility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water#Compressib... The problem is gasses both dissolved in tissues which causes cellular scale damage (Aka the bends) and internal pockets of air such as in swim bladders which can rupture.
