Default Hypothetical dive

Mariana trench on air, I work out a 15ltr cylinder will last 7.56 seconds,
based on 25ltr per minute surface rate.

Then you would have to make an emergency buoyant accent how long ?

Hence the word hypothetical, It doesnt take a genius to work out that 232
bar of air would not come out of a cylinder with an outside pressure of
1100.

Probably be crushed, I would say certainly crushed.
