The record dive is 1010 feet by a British diver using OMS wings and Apex regulators. I believe the account of the dive can be found in Immersed Diver Magazine and that Bennet is his name. There are so many varibles to consider here when planning for a dive of that type. Not just the type of or amount of gases to be used but also the physical and mental fitness of the diver. The rate of descent and tolerance to the affects of such a dive. We all hear about narcosis, and CNS toxicity but lets not forget about HPNS.
The human body I am sure can always go deeper it is the return trip that makes it count. As long as our CNS and body's airspaces can handle the pressure only GOD knows the limits of his creation. The human body is quite the machine and the question is who is willing to prove the limits and accept the risks.
