Water pressure increases by approximately one atmosphere for every 10 meters of depth, and this weight pushes with equal intensity in all directions. We do not feel this pressure because the fluids in our bodies resist with the same force, while fish living on the ocean floor carry this power as a natural part of their existence. This invisible pressure can crush a delicate flower or collapse a ship's hull; silent, immovable, present everywhere at every moment.
