What happens if you crack an egg in ocean ?

Crack an egg underwater and you'll be in for a strange surprise!
In an experiment conducted by divers from the Bermuda Institute of Oceanography, a raw egg cracked 60 feet below the ocean's surface didn't splatter or melt. It retained its shape, floating like a jellyfish in an aquatic cocoon. This is because the pressure at this depth is 2.8 times higher than on land.
This essentially acts as an invisible shell, holding the egg together into a magical mass. The unique demonstration reveals how pressure can dramatically affect the behavior of everyday objects. But the deeper you go, the more intense the pressure becomes. And here, things get even stranger.
In a follow-up experiment, diver Jim Farnum discovered that unsealed eggs eventually burst under extreme pressure.
One cracked at a depth of 416 feet, while another, specially sealed with spray paint, sank to a depth of 1,706 feet before collapsing. It's a fun and somewhat bizarre look at how deep-sea physics works. Just don't try this in your backyard pool. That's another thing.
