As a chemical engineer speaking, you are wrong.
You can compress a liquid, but we're talking very minimal changes. No where near the amount that is being asked in this thread.
edit: the answer to the question though: more than is humanly possible

Don't make false statements cause you're too lazy to write 2 more sentences.
Hot ice is the name given to another surprising phenomenon in which water at room temperature can be turned into ice that remains at room temperature by supplying an electric field of the order of 106 volts per meter.[4]

Why must divers come back up to the surface slowly and why do submarines have crush depth ratings if liquids can't be compressed?
:icon27:
Divers need to come to the surface slowly so they don't get the bends. This is from gases in the body forming bubbles in the blood and has nothing to do with compression of liquid.
Actually, both result from pressure and have nothing to do with incompressibility :icon32:
I remember reading somewhere an interesting fact about the universe. The amount of space between matter is so great, that if all the matter in the (visible) universe were squeezed together as tightly as possible (to the planck level), it would take up less space than the nucleus of an atom.
