Water Pressure acting on an object in Freshwater

[vanguard]

How do you work out the water pressure acting on an object in stages from the surface to 10m underwater (Freshwater)?

The above website should answer your question, If not I have another one.

Pressure exerted on the sub

Pressure exerted on the sub at the surface is 1atmosphere = 14.7psi =101.325 kilopascals. Every 10metres depth adds 1atm. Water pressure varies directly proportionally with depth, so at 1 metre down its 1.1atm, 2m down its 1.2atm, 3 m down its 1.3 atm and 10m its 2atm.

So I guess the equation you are looking for is pressure(in atm) = 1 + depth(m)/10
