I hate to say it but it all depends on the local pressure on the seals, not the average.  So if you are in hot water it will decrease the rating and any excessive pressure like diving in will some times make a marginal seal leak.  Since you love to take them apart, I personally would recommend you use a silicon lubricant on the rubber O rings to extent there life and check for burs at the seal area.  Edgel is right don't swim in it.
