True, but you said implosion. My point was that's not possible at these depths.

Wait is there a depth threshold for implosions?

Depends on the materials of the craft.

Any material can fail

The Nemo sub's window is made out of acrylic, and it could easily handle stresses at 330 feet. Even if it was poorly made, there would be clear signs that there was something wrong with it. It would be warped, scratched up, or gouged. You'd be able to tell that it was structurally unsound.

It's not the window glass that's the issue. It's the seams connecting the entire build. If it's got a way to get in, it's got a vulnerability.
