Question How have sea creatures adapted to withstand the extreme pressures of the ocean floor?
Answer there are many adaptations, try a bit of gooleing and have a look here for basic ones. http://www.marinebio.com/Oceans/TheDeep/
If you can find any that you don't understand please don't hesitate to ask me about them, their function, (for instance a specific adaptation of the shark is extra proteins in the blood to reduce water loss.)
