Why aren’t organisms on the sea floor crushed by water pressure and how much pressure inside them is pushing out at the ocean?

This is because they contain air: that feeling comes from the air sacs in your body being squashed by the pressure of the water. Fish living closer to the surface of the ocean may have a swim bladder – that's a large organ with air in it, which helps them float up or sink down in the water
