Pressure exerted by water is a function of the depth of the water, plus the pressure of the atmosphere above it. Pressure will be different depending on where you are in the ocean.

Given that both gravity and atmospheric pressure on other planets is different, the relative pressure of bodies of water at comparable depths will also be different.
