When marine scientists etc travel to great ocean depths in submersibles that have maybe 10cm (4 inches) thick titanium walls to withstand the huge pressures, they look out and see soft tissue marine life swimming around with no protection at all. How does this marine life survive under such huge pressures??

If humans stepped out into this pressure they would implode - so should any other soft tissue animal.

if they were hard then they would not be able to live down that deep. Since they are soft that flex with the pressure and don't get hurt and can live. Pretty simple.

It's kind of like how superman came from krypton and was used to an entirely different environment . they are born live and die under those conditions so it's not a big deal to them
