### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pressure in Water**: - At sea level, the pressure exerted on the human body is mainly due to the weight of the air above. This is known as atmospheric pressure. - As a diver descends into the ocean, they experience an increase in pressure due to the weight of the water above them. This pressure increases with depth. 2. **Pressure Increase with Depth**: - The pressure increases by approximately 1 atmosphere (atm) for every 10 meters (33 feet) of water depth. This means that at greater depths, divers are subjected to significantly higher pressures than they experience at the surface. ...
