deep diver
Fathom-seeking swimmer
A deep diver is someone who dives to significant depths, whether recreationally with scuba gear or professionally for salvage, research, or commercial work.
Figuratively, a deep diver is someone who explores subjects thoroughly rather than superficially: She's a real deep diver when it comes to historical research.
The term suggests going beyond surface-level engagement.
