ELI5: What's the deal with the high water pressure in the deep ocean? I've always heard that if you were at the bottom of the ocean, the pressure would crush you, but they have those remote controlled robot subs that can withstand it, and I feel like they're more "robust" than "armored".

I'm picturing a water pressure that would instantly crush anything that's down there, like a black hole or something.
