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?

In a single dive, a river otter can travel as deep as 60 feet.

Still not bad.
Pressure...pushing down on me
Pushing down on you. No man asks for.
I always thought it was "no man has more"
I always thought it was "You're an asshole".
Alright stop! Collaborate and listen!
Ice is back with a brand new edition.
Well damn, I thought he said invention.
Something something grabs ahold of you tightly. Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly.
Pressing down on you
Da da da da... Da da da da... Dadada Dadada That's okay!
Do do do doo do doo do
Or is this ice ice baby?
Both
It was probably an I Love the 90s or something like that on VH1 that remixed it with a couple more "ours goes theirs goes ours goes theirs goes" that is stuck in my mind to this day
Its over 40 years old (yeah you that old) so thats why so many might get lost but Under Pressure
TIL that this track featured David Bowie on it.
You mean that song that ripped of the guy from SVU?
I'm 33 and heard this song for the first time on the radio maybe 6 months ago and instantly thought it was Ice Ice Baby. Never realized Ice Ice Baby was sampling a Bowie/Queen song til then.
Probably an instant hire from me if it's pulled off in any significant way...
Thought I was in c/otters for a sec.
I sea what you did there 🦦
Took me a little while. But this is good
just like Under Pressure, it's a lot easier to perform with a partner :3
Lol, but on a serious note if they ask you that question it 100% means the workplace is toxic
Lmao accidentally read this from Steve's perspective and thought "bullshit, that's a fun place to be!.. oh.. wait.. let me read.. oh yeah, horrible."
is nobody gonna say it? really? you guys realize Steve is a sea otter right? sea otters are the saltwater thugs of the animal kingdom.
And?
I just had to say it. it was my destiny and life's work to mention the sea otter
Now stop, collaborate and listen
Ice is back with a brand new invention
So they poured him a Mickey
