Best Answer

1 ATM is actually equal to mean sea level itself. Now if you filled a balloon with air and put it under the water, you would notice that the volume will decrease. This decrement will increase as you go further down. Since the volume is decreasing, pressure must be building up inside (PV=nRT), assuming that the temperature doesn't change. Thus undersea pressure will be higher than 1 ATM.

Addition

For water pressure alone, 10 meters of water is equivalent to 1 atmosphere of air pressure.
