It is the weight of the water pressing down from above. The greater the depth the greater the pressure.
Sea pressure is caused by the weight of the water above exerting force on a specific point in the ocean. The deeper you go in the ocean, the greater the amount of water above, leading to higher pressure. This pressure is typically measured in units such as pounds per square inch (psi) or atmospheres.
The water pressure of the ocean at 500 feet is approximately 217.5 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure increases by 14.7 psi for every additional 33 feet in depth due to the weight of the water above.
Solar energy absorbed by the Earth's surface causes temperature differences that drive wind patterns and ocean currents, resulting in the generation of wind and water waves. The sun's heat causes air to rise and fall, creating pressure systems that generate wind. Similarly, solar heating of the ocean surface leads to temperature variations and water movement that form waves.
The water pressure in the hadal zone, which is the deepest part of the ocean, can reach extreme levels of over 1,000 times atmospheric pressure at the surface. This is due to the weight of the water column above.
Right at the surface of the ocean, the pressure is just the same as the air pressure at sea level; that is, one "atmosphere", or about 14.7 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). But water pressure increases with increasing depth: For each foot of depth, the water pressure increases by 0.445 PSI. SCUBA divers, who need to be very aware their depth because of this pressure effect, often use this rule: Every 33 feet of depth, water pressure increases by one "atmosphere" (14.7 PSI). So, for example, at 66 feet the pressure on a diver is three atmospheres: There's one atmosphere of pressure from the air, and two atmospheres from the water.
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.

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
The causes of low water pressure in a home can include clogged pipes, leaks, issues with the water supply system, or problems with the water pressure regulator.

At the bottom of the Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean), where water pressure is about eight tons per square inch.
There is pressure in all water because of the weight of the water above it pressing down
the presence of minerals such as sodium cholride,magnesium etc causes the difference in ocean water ....
water pressure, ocean currents and saltyness of the water.
Depends on the depth.
Water pressure.
Sounds like a bad/failed water pressure regulator.
