Static pressure on it's own doesn't really "do" anything though. You could have the thinest piece of solid material with 10 million atmospheres on either side and the material doesn't care since forces cancel out. Difference in pressure is where shit goes pop or crush depending on the direction.

Divers frequently go to pressures of 500+ PSI without issues directly from the pressure

Nearly all the issues at that depth are from the physiology of breathing gasses at that pressure

That's 34atm or about 330m. Nobody is diving that deep on a regular basis. It's the world record.
