The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14 pounds per square inch (PSI). The ambient pressure in water is a combination of hydrostatic pressure due to the weight of the water itself and atmospheric pressure from the surface at sea level. This amount increases linearly with depth because water has weight, and the deeper one ventures downward, the more water is stacked above them with extra layer of water adding the same volume of weight, therefore the pressure rises at a steady, predictable rate...
