If you laid down right now you wouldn’t mind, right? Now you have one person lay down on top of you, it would be alright but slightly uncomfortable. Now make it two. It’s very uncomfortable. Now make it three. Keep doing that until you have a few hundred people laying down on top of you. That’s a lot of weight right?
That’s what’s happening when you go deeper and deeper in a body of water.
