- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Sea otters can dive down to 600 feet, at that depth the pressure is about 265 psi. So the answer is yes, Steve can perform under pressure.

Sea otters eat 25 percent of their body weight in food every day. Sea otters’ diets include sea urchins, crabs, mussels, and clams, which they’re known to crack open with a rock and eat while floating in the water.
Not just any old rock, sea otters often have favorite rocks they keep in a fold of skin in their armpit.
Sea otters will also rape baby seals to death and keep the corpse for a few weeks to keep fucking until it's too nasty for the otters taste. ☺️
I knew water pressure got high pretty fast, but damn, didn't know it was that fast
I might be off here, but iirc, eater is about 1000 times denser than air, so 10 meters of water gives you the same pressure as the 10 kilometers of air above you. It goes fast.
The metric system, so convenient
10 meters of water gets you:
97.78 kPa
0.98 bar
0.96 atm
14.18 psi
733.39 mmHg
28.87 inHg
Got me curious as to what a human could survive. The record is 702 feet, but he was a professional, and he actually did an even deeper dive, 831 feet, but sustained brain damage on the way back up. This is freediving with no breathing apparatus. Most people can only go a maximum of about 60 feet or less.
How do you know it's not a river otter?
