Bullshit!

The only way to work under that kind of pressure is saturation, or containment, as in a
submarine type vehicle.

Prolonged saturation is out.

Maximum record depth is 2000 feet in an "ADS" suit.

Maximum recorded depth with SCUBA is 1083 feet.

ADS suits are practical (on Earth), SCUBA is not.

However, nothing will work on Venus.  The ADS suit is
rugged but is not designed for chemical or heat resistance.
The denaturing of the proteins in the human body is an extreme
risk.  There is no practical way to support the suit (currently
operates like a tethered submersible).

SCUBA will be fatal instantly.

In fact, anything sent there dies.  Machine or biological.

The subject is a stupid "what if", anyway.  Sort of like the crap you
would hear from a 6 year old.
