Aquanaut morphs (p.150) "can safely descend to about 200 meters depth (roughly 6 atmospheres of pressure)". The pressure corresponding to a given depth obviously depends on local gravity. On Earth, every 10 m is approximately an extra atmosphere. My best bet is that someone looked for the *extra* pressure (in addition to the baseline 1 atm at sea level) at 200 *feet* (which is roughly 60 m) and got 6 atmospheres.
As a sidenote, many humans in good health with training can dive 60 m. Since the world record without any pressure adjusting suit exceeds, I believe, 150m breathing compressed air and 300m with other gas mixtures (and humpback whales can dive that deep just holding their breath) ... well, 200 m (some 20 atm) seems about the right limit for a splicer with basic biomods. There are fish that can survive at 5000+m depths.
