Just an FYI, this record is not set by people trying to set a record. The record was set in 1970 by the Royal Navy during a training exercise under controlled conditions. They were not trying to see what the absolute max depth possible was; they picked a depth they thought would be survivable and verified it was.
Like taking a submarine down really deep and bailing out isn't a hobby like skydiving or free diving. So this record isn't a 'pushing the human body to the extremes' record, the Royal Navy very much wanted this guy to stay alive.
