Pascal's law states:a change in the pressure of an enclosed incompressible fluid (you - the body is 55-65% water) is conveyed undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the surfaces of its container
Basically, at the surface (sea level), you are under 1 atmosphere of pressure - the normal weight of all the air surrounding you. Due to the weight of water, as you descend, there is more weight of water pressing on you.
In salt water, for every 10 meters, 33 feet, you descend, your body is under 1 more atmosphere of pressure.
At 30m (100feet), which is the maximum depth for most recreational diving, you are under 4 atmospheres (ATMs), which is 4 times as much pressure than when you're floating on the surface.

How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if the earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
Why is it dangerous for human dive deep into the ocean?
there is higher pressure the deeper you travel into the ocean. this pressure is detrimental to health. also breathing is an issue.

Why are you having ear pain when you dive under the sea?
The deeper u go the more water pressure there is pushing in on your eardrums
How does the water pressure change at each level in a jug?
As you go deeper into a jug, there is more water on top of you, pressing down. Because of this, the deeper you are, the greater the water pressure becomes.
What do scuba divers use to tell how far down they are?
scuba divers use pressure meter because the deeper down you go the more pressure builds upAdditiona depth gauge or a dive computer
How does water pressure change with dept?
the deeper you go the more weight you have pressing against you
Is deeper an adverb?
