The deeper you go under the sea, the greater the pressure of the water pushing down on you. For every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by one atmosphere .

Answer: the pressure increases with the amount of water pushing in on all sides of the diver, for example, when you jump into a pool and you head is above water it a little harder to breathe, it is the same way for divers when they are diving at increasingly deep depths, the deeper you are the more water is pressing in on you.
