There are certain movies you simply can't go into expecting everything to make sense. These ridiculously over-the-top films are set on entertainment and spectacle first, and don't tend to worry about little things like story, logic, or writing.

The Meg very much falls into this category, as does its sequel, Meg 2: The Trench. They know exactly what they are, and lean into their ludicrous premise and bonkers nature. Disbelief has to be suspended when watching anything to a certain degree, but this was something else entirely.

The events of Meg 2 take Jason Statham and his crew down to the ocean floor, where after all manner of twists, turns, betrayals, and of course Megaladons, the crew are trapped. The only means of escape is for someone to swim around and open the door from the outside. On the ocean floor.

According to the logic of Statham's character, there should be absolutely no issue in swimming under the weight of a simply immeasurable amount of water without protection. Even though not too long before this another character suffered a gruelling fate when their helmet cracked exposing her to that exact same pressure, Jonas swam across the bottom of the ocean and was just fine.
