How do deep sea divers move at all? I mean, there's like 10 tons of water directly on their backs
Water pressure is uniform per depth. Let's say someone is 100 feet deep. They should experience a pressure of about 45 psi. That pressure is all around them. If they are just moving laterally at the same depth the 45 pounds they are pushing against to move forward is also pushing on them from behind. The opposite directions cancel out so they are only moving the weight of their own body. Really no different than air pressure on land. But if they want to sink or rise then they only have to overcome the difference of the psi at the 2 depths. Additionally it's not just a mater of how many pounds you can move but also the period of time you are moving it.
