Based on logbook entries, Ducimus made it so boats could go beyond test depth and survive. As newer better designed boats came along, they could go deeper than previous designs.
But remember, if your boat is damaged, your operating depth will be affected.

Thanks guys. I also noticed that the red "test depth" needle on the depth gauge sits at about 450 in my S-boat. I assume this is part of TMO and not an accident? That's why I decided to really put the hull to the test.
