Harvesting Energy from Highly Compressed Deep Ocean Water  !  ???

Can this be done ?

Recently we were listening to a B.B.C. Radio 4 programme on William Beebe
and his explorations below sea with a bathysphere, circa 1934.....

( The Adventures of Beebe and the Bathysphere, 9.00pm, 27/12/04 )

Part of the programme described how during the unmanned testing of the
bathysphere it was hauled up to the surface full of water, the pressure from
which blew out one of the bolts that held the entrance hatch closed.

Could this pressurised water be collected and put to use ?
Perhaps it has already been tried ?
Perhaps it's not a viable proposition ?

I am no scientist, so I may be missing a basic piece of knowledge that would
put this beyond the bounds of possibility.

Any comments welcomed, and please forward this question to any
Scientist/Engineer you may know.
