An atmosphere is a measure of pressure. On the surface the weight of the miles of gases in the air over our heads exert 1 ATA (atmosphere absolute) on us. Since water is much denser and heavier, it takes only about 33 feet of seawater to produce the equivalent pressure of the atmosphere.
So on the surface we're under 1 ATA. At 33 feet seawater we have the original 1 from the atmosphere plus 1 from the seawater, exerting 2 ATA on our bodies. At 66 feet we're at 3 ATA, 99 at 4 ATA, and 132 at 5 ATA. Since freshwater is slightly less dense than seawater, the depths are slightly less.

Why doesn't pressure decrease when someone goes deep in the sea?
Because it increases. As you descend in the sea each 10 meters of water above you weighs as much as the whole of Earth's atmosphere as experience at Sea Level. Thus at 10 meters depth in the sea you experience a pressure of 2 atmospheres. At 20 meters 3 atmospheres At 30 meters 4 atmospheres At 100 meters 11 atmospheres At 1000 meters 101 atmospheres.
