How far (in feet) can you dive without experiencing more than 58.7 psi of pressure on your body?

Full problem: 
When diving in the ocean, you must consider how much pressure you will experience from diving a certain depth. From the atmosphere, we experience about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) and for every foot we dive down into the ocean, we experience another 0.44 psi in pressure. How far (in feet) can you dive without experiencing more than 58.7 psi of pressure on your body?
