why does deep water apply more pressure?

whenever there is something deep underwater like a submarine why does eventually the glass start breaking and why does water kinda lift things up for that matter?

Gravity. Water is heavy, and the deeper you are, the more water there is above you. All of that water has weight, so when you are deep, there is much more weight pushing down on you. This weight causes increased pressure on from every direction, eventually enough to crush things (like poorly constructed billionaire’s subs) that can’t hold up to that much pressure
