actually, you'd get sucked down under with the boat. the pressure and pull of the water would suck you down and then compress you. sucks, right?

The first person to reach the bottom of the Marianas trench was French explorer and scientist Piccard, in the bathyscaph. This was a type of submarine that was filled with a liquid (gasoline, I believe) as ballast, to be able to resist the incredible water pressure. The part where the people went was a sphere suspended beneath the hull of the ballast tank. In essence, the vehicle was like a hot-air ballon but for going underwater. This immersion happened in 1957.
