It always baffles me when posts like this get a downvote without any explanation 🤔130 feet (40m), not 130 meters.

That’s not accurate. You can scuba dive deeper than 164’ on regular air.Also, 40m (131 feet) is a safe limit for normal dives since oxygen becomes toxic not long after 50m (164 feet).
After this, you will need specialized equipment (rebreathers) with a different gas mixture
120 feet is the generally accepted maximum depth for sport scuba diving (per PADI and NAUI teaching). It makes perfect sense to have the watch stop recording depth after 130 to prevent scuba divers from trying to push limits to see how deep they can get. Smart move by Apple in this regard.
I wrote "not long after 50m (164 feet)", so while technically correct, you will not be able to go much further with regular air without experiencing nitrogen narcosis and probable death.That’s not accurate. You can scuba dive deeper than 164’ on regular air.
It does not make perfect sense to stop displaying your depth after 130 ft.
