I understand that the deeper you dive into the ocean the more pressure you will face. I also know it’s a gradual change in pressure. But how is that pressure created?

Lets replace water with people.
If you have a pile of 10 people and you’re the person on top, you have no weight on top of you.
If you are the 5th one down, you have the weight of 4 people on top of you and it’s probably not going to be very comfortable.
If you’re the one on the bottom, you have the weight of 9 people on top of you, and at this point you should probably start rethinking your life and how you ended up in this situation.
Water works the same way. Water has weight to it, so the further down you go the more water there is above you pressing down.
