... and that was like, a couple hundred feet. The Titanic is at 12,500 feet. An unfathomable amount of pressure.
12500 ft is 2083.33 fathoms.
This reply is leagues ahead.
What other nautical-related terms are a part of common speech?
I'm tying myself in knots trying to think of one.
These puns are so deep
Those are two different meaning of the same word though, and the one in your usage is not specifically nautical, so I’m not sure it qualifies. But a good pun nonetheless.

So it was ... notical?
There is so much pressure to come up with one.
objection, that is clearly 2083 1/3 fathoms of pressure.
Ah -- I was confused for like 10 minutes by this comment, since technical divers have gone as deep as 1,000 ft without "anymore than a wet suit" and commercial divers go beyond 300 feet all the time. It isn't the absolute pressure that's the problem (in this video)
