Some deep-diving whales can reduce their heart rate dramatically during the deepest phase of a dive.
When descending toward 3,000 meters, Baird’s beaked whales encounter hydrostatic pressures exceeding 300 atmospheres, levels that require specialized engineering in deep-sea vehicles.

Every descent compresses tissues and alters gas distribution in ways that would trigger decompression sickness in humans, yet this whale manages repeated dives without apparent injury.
Studying such tolerance informs comparative physiology research aimed at understanding oxygen management and decompression resilience in extreme environments.
