Pressure in water is exactly dependant on depth. Every 9.81m of water bring your 1 Bar of pressure with their weight pushing down.

Oceans are deep (citation needed).

A small extra: saltwater is a little more dense, making ocean water a bit heavier. So at the same depth the ocean has a slightly higher pressure than in fresh water.
