Depth records I'm aware of:
Harbour Seal 420m
Emperor Penguin 565m
Elephant Seal 2000m
Sperm Whale 3200m
Sea Otter 97m
The Elephant seal and Emperor Penguin have the most impressive depths if you consider the size of the animal vs. depth it dives.

Eric, Says here greenland shark dives -2100m under arctic ice, yet only -10m in Quebec. That's very strange! Also very long-lived. 2000kg.
