In a shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean containing air pockets, would you die from jumping in the water due to water pressure?

I’ve attached an image here, to further illustrate the scenario. Imagine that the wreck is at the bottom of the Marianas trench, 10km underwater.

Would jumping into the water kill you from the pressure? Or would it only kill you if you swam to where there is no cover on the right side of the wreckage?

Answer 1

As the ship was sinking, the air in the bubble with you would have been compressed. As you get deeper, the water level in the air pocket would get smaller. It’s the same amount of air, but under more pressure, so occupying a smaller space.

In the air bubble, you’re practically under the same pressure as the water at your feet.
