The discovery of diamonds was in 1867, it takes years to do surveys and experimental pits and dig mine shafts to determine if the mine is viable. Then there is funding of the project.The first mention of diamonds from the mine is 1902. So Pre-1900 India may have been the primary place for diamond supply to the world.

I'm not sure what your source is for this. Max depths for submarines is a highly classified secret. It has been estimated that the test depth for a Seawolf class sub is 1,600 feet and the estimated crush depth is about 2,400 feet. Subs are taken to their test depth during sea trials.
Going really deep allows them to travel at high speed without much cavitation of the propeller. The greater pressure suppresses bubble formation. Cavitation is very noisy and allows the sub to be detected.

German tourists to North America probably thought they were cute and arranged for babies to be brought into the country. Once they grew, out the door and into the woods.
The vast majority of the time, subs cruise in the 200-300 ft. range. Especially true with the used Brit diesel subs that Canada has. A sub never goes lower than it has to. Going to test depth very rare in the life of a submarine. Crush depth is estimated.
At any rate, many more penguins go to 1,850 ft. and more often than subs do.

There have been 12 people born in the Antarctic for the purpose of asserting sovereignty over territory. Usually because of the lac of medical facilities some expedition will have severe restrictions on members going to the Antarctic. Some will require that people that go on these expeditions must have had their wisdom teeth and appendixes removes previously. Pregnant women will most likely be disqualified from going on expeditions to the Antarctic because of lac of medical facilities and sometimes these expeditions are cut off from regular transport runs due to severe prolonged winter conditions.
There is a case of a medical doctor that developed cancer and extraordinary lengths had to be taken to airlift her out of Antarctica.
