It doesn’t actually cause humans to get crushed “like empty cans of of soda” right?

It absolutely can.

As you descend into water the water above you still has weight. The further down you go the more weight the water has the more pressure pushing on you. You would have to descend at a really high speed to crush like a can but if you are in a depressurized water craft and hop out of it at the bottom of an ocean, you have a high chance of death to water pressure.
