I am writing some stories and would like to know some scientific facts.  My 
question's intent is not about the deepest cave in the world, but how deep we 
could actually travel!  What would the temperature and pressure be like?  Would 
we need special equipment even on foot?  What is the record for the deepest man 
has traveled?  Thanks!
