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?

Answer 1

Basically even Water being a Liquid it still has Weight, while underwater you are receiving the force of that weight in your whole body (As in your whole body is submerged). And as to how this force works it’s Action and Reaction, the act of submerging makes the water have a reaction to that.
