How deep can a submarine submerge?
The actual diving depths for Navy submarines is classified information. However, Deep Submergence Vehicles, such as the bathyscape Trieste, has been submerged to almost 11,000 meters (36,000 feet) in the Marianas Trench, at the time considered the deepest point in the ocean.

How deep is marianas trench?
Marianas trench, Marianas trough, or Marianas deep (mâr'ēăn'əz) , elongated depression on the Pacific Ocean floor, 210 mi (338 km) SW of Guam. It is the deepest (35,798.6 ft/10,911.5 m at the Challenger Deep) known depression on the earth's surface. A U.S. navy bathyscape reached its bottom in 1960; a 1995 Japanese probe made what is probably the most accurate measurement of its depth.
How deep can a sub go underwater?
A small submarine, the bathyscape Trieste, made it to 10,916 meters (35,813 feet) below sea level in the deepest point in the ocean, the Challenger Deep in the Marianas trench, a few hundred miles east of the Philippines. This part of the ocean is 11,034 m (36,200 ft) deep, so it seems that a submarine can make it as deep as it's theoretically possible to go. The water pressure at this depth is over 1000 atmospheres. Life does exist here, as well as a carpet of diatomaceous material that covers all the ocean floors of the world.ANS 2 - A bathyscaphe is not a submarine. Most submarines can dive to about 1,000 feet, some of the latest to at least 14,500 feet, possibly more.
What is the bathyspehere and the bathyscaphe?
let us differentiate between the two. a Bathysphere is essentially a form of Diving Bell developed by Otis Barton and William Beebe in the early thirties, it is suspended by a crane on a surface ship and cannot maneuver on its own. the original Bathysphere is on display- not in the best repair at the New York Aquarium at Coney Island. now a Bathyscaphe from Greek words for Deep Ship or Deep Boat- correctly pronounced Bathys-SCaiff- but popularily (Bath-Escape)- like that sound, is a type of Submarine Vessel ( according to the Funk and Wagnalls encyclopedia) designed for extreme depths, the whole upper hull is in effect ballast tanks. the Bathyscape has a rudder and props and can maneuver independtly- unlike the Bathysphere which is a form of captive diving bell. The Bathyscape was devised by August Piccard, the Swiss scientist who was also a high-level balloonist- he wrote a book- hard to get by the way- Ten miles high ( Balloon) Two miles deep (Bathyscaphe). the first Bathyscaphe was made in Italy in l947 by Navalmeccanica ( an Italian Naval yard) the Trieste I was also made by this outfit, with a Krupp-built ( German) pressure vessel which enabled the desc dent to the bottom of the Marianas trench- over 35 Grand (Thousands of feet) in the early sixties. Piccard, Jr, and Navy officer Lt. Donald Walsh crewed the Trieste I (there was a later Trieste II- both are now, and for good acclaim- museum pieces. the Bathyscaphe X ( prototype) went down two miles in Itallian waters before the Trieste was built, by the way, both made in Fair Italy. still waters run deep.
Do submarines shrink?
The actual diving depths of most modern nuclear submarines is highly classified; however, all submarines are constructed to either withstand the pressure (e.g., the titanium hulled Russian ALFA), or "flex" with the pressure. It is the metallurgical properties of the steel used that determines how well a submarine's outer and inner hulls withstand the enormous pressure per square inch at deep depths. While strong hulls like the ALFA mean they can go deeper, the fact that they don't flex with the pressure (contracting and expanding as it goes deep and then shallow) makes the hull more brittle with each dive. It is similar to an eggshell being repeatedly put under stress - since it cannot flex, it will eventually break. By contrast, U.S. Submarines are built with a specific type of steel that contracts with pressure, and expands. A little known fact of submarine construction is that the decks are actually "floating" - they are suspended and do not actually touch the hull for this reason. To illustrate the extreme pressures at deep depths, during the first operations on the wreck of the USS Thresher (SSN-593), a styrofoam coffee cup was placed in a basket of the bathyscape that was used to survey the wreck. Placed outside the hull, it was subjected to the extreme pressures of the deep ocean. When they returned to the surface, it had shrunk from its original size (around 6") to barely the size of a thumb due to the compressive forces of the sea. This is still done on civilian research submarines and ROV's for souvenirs. A submarine's hull shape is also designed specifically to deal with deeper depths. The submarines of WWI and WWII were not considered true submersibles by today's standards - they were surface ships with limited submerged operational capability. As such, they were designed to run faster on the surface than submerged, and their design wasn't truly made for extreme depths. It has been long known that a spherical, or round shape, is the best shape for withstanding pressure. This is why the earliest diving bells, diving hard hats, and rescue chambers all had spherical designs. Today's rounded hull shapes of modern submarines allow them to go much deeper and withstand a lot more pressure than their older counterparts.
What is the deepest point in the ocean and what is it?
In the Western Pacific, south of Japan and north of New Guinea, and to the east of the Mariana Islands is the lowest elevation of the surface of the Earth's crust. Known as the Mariana Trench, the trench is nearly 1,580 miles (2,550 kms) long and 43 miles (69 km) wide, its deepest part is known as the Challenger Deep. Named after the Royal Navy ship, HMS Challenger that first sounded it back in December 1872 to May 1876, who recorded a depth of 31,614 feet, (9,636 metres).Subsequent expeditions have lowered and raised the depth. In 1951, another Royal Navy vessel also called Challenger reported the depth as 35,761 ft, (10,900 m).In 1957, the Russian vessel Vityaz reported a depth of 36,200 ft, (11,034 m).In 1984, the Japanese reported a depth of 35,840 ft, (10,924 m)Since then the National Geographic has published the maximum depth at 36,200 feet (11,034 metres) in 1995.Also in 1995, the Japanese reported a depth of 35,798ft (10,911 m). This is thought to be the most accurate readings.In June 2009, an American expedition reported the maximum depth of 35,994 ft (10,971 m).In 2010, the US Center for Coastal & Ocean Mapping measured its depth at 36,070 ft (10,994 m).So if we take the 1995 Japanese readings as the most accurate, that is 6.78 miles (10.91kms) straight down. If Mount Everest was placed there, its summit would still be one mile below the surface. The pressure down there is a staggering 15,966 pounds (7.24 metric tonnes) per square inch, or roughly 1,086 times the pressure we live with at sea level.More men have walked on the Moon's surface than have visited the bottom. As of the time of writing (December 2009) only two men have visited the bottom, and that was back in 1960. Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard rode the bathyscape Trieste to the bottom, where they remained for 20 minutes. It looks like that record will stand for a long time, as no one has a manned DSV (that is in the public's knowledge) capable of reaching those depths.Yes, the Mariana trench is the deepest trench, also not to be rude but it's trench not treanch.

Which is the deepest point in the Indian Ocean?
At the 'Sunda Trench' ( or Java Trench) the depth is 7,725 metres (25,340 ft).AnswerIn the Diamantina Fracture Zone, 1,125kms off Australia, in the South east part of the Indian Ocean, there is trench called the Diamantina Deep, which has been measured to 8,047 metres (26, 401 feet) deep, making this the deepest point of the Indian Ocean.
