What is the effect of water pressure on the body?

Everything sinks into the water under pressure of water. The water pressure is directly proportional to the depth, when the depth increases by 10m, the pressure will increase by 1 atm.

Everything sinks into the water under pressure of water. The water pressure is directly proportional to the depth, when the depth increases by 10m, the pressure will increase by 1 atm. This means that each 1cm 2 area will increase the pressure by 1kg. So, will the divers 'survive'? The answer is of course yes, but do you know how? And when diving did the diver just endure the pressure of water pressure or could he encounter more dangers?
