If water is incompressible, why does water pressure increase the deeper you go?

"Water pressure" just means the pressure the water is exerting on you. The deeper you go, the more water is on top of you, which means the more the water above you weighs. Because gravity exists, all that water is pressing down on you. A force is being exerted on your body, and it is being exerted over a non-zero surface area - therefore, there is pressure.

what if you can fill a balloon with water then put that balloon in a large container and pump that container with air? water balloon will compress due to increased atmospheric bottle pressure, therefore compressing the water. you mad?

yes it will

Of course everything depends on just how much pressure we are talking about here, but with everyday to general college lab equipment, liquids are not easily compressible. In other words, the balloon will not shrink.

You get super compressed water.
