Not if you descend slowly enough...
If you descend or ascend too fast the change in pressure either crushes you like a grape under a military tank or makes you expand like when that vampire in Blade died.
However, if you descend slowly enough (of course the temperature would kill you, but let's ignore the temperature for a while
) then the deeper you go the more gasses that will be dissolved into you, making you denser, allowing you to withstand the pressure. Again, if you ascended slowly enough, those gasses would be taken out of solution slowly enough not to hurt you (gasses leaving solution is what causes the bends).Sorry, I'm science nerd, I just had to.

Oxygen toxicity limits the depths to which you can dive. 1000' is about as deep as anyone has gone on scuba.
ummm i have yet to hear of a person who has scuba dived one mile under the sea an lived to tell about it

at one mile down you are at 2303.7223 psi good luck on not getting crushed like a grape no matter how long you took to scuba down forget the temp

so is that science geek enough for you

Wouldn't the dissolved Nitrogen counteract this?
LOL okay seriously the moment I read that I thought to myself, "Wait, the reason oxygen tanks are effective is because they aren't like the atmospheric air." I'm guessing they have little to no nitrogen in them.
