Is it though? It's denser at extreme depth. I'm trying to get my tired brain around this and failing.

Of course not because the conrods will bend first. But as an awake person I can now remember that water is indeed denser at great depth (to an extent that is reflectee in the anatomy of the fish that live there). So it is compressible it's just not easy.
