i was told that it is the weight of the water around you
increase
Yes, the water pressure on a submarine increases as it goes deeper.
Because the deeper you go the more water you have on top of you, every 10 meters you go under water, you have another atmosphere on top of you, the wieg that is pressed to you is what causes the pressure
As a submarine dives deeper into the ocean, the pressure increases due to the weight of the water above it. Water is denser than air, and each additional meter of water adds more weight, resulting in greater pressure exerted on the submarine's hull. This increase in pressure can affect the structural integrity of the submarine, necessitating robust engineering to withstand these extreme conditions.
This is because ocean water has weight, and believe it or not, air has weight too. The water and air pressure add up when you go farther underwater. This causes there to be higher water pressure as you go deeper because the water weight adds up.
the pressure in the water increases, this is why you equalize, just like going up in an aeroplane!
Water pressure increases as you go deeper.
Water pressure in the ocean is caused by the weight of the water above pushing down on the water below. The deeper you go in the ocean, the greater the water pressure because there is more water above pushing down. This pressure increases at a rate of about 1 atmosphere (14.7 psi) for every 10 meters of depth.
It is difficult to breathe in deep oceans because the water pressure increases as you go deeper, making it harder for your lungs to expand and contract properly. Additionally, there is less oxygen available in deep ocean water due to lower levels of photosynthesis and mixing of surface layers with deeper waters.
As you go deeper in water, the pressure increases due to the weight of the water above pressing down on you. This increase in pressure can compress air spaces in your body, such as your lungs and ears. It is important to equalize the pressure to avoid discomfort or injury, especially when scuba diving or free diving to great depths.

Because all the water ontop of you is being pushed down by gravity
