Water pressure increases by approximately 1 bar for every 10 meters of depth in freshwater. At a depth of 10 meters, the water pressure would be about 1 bar, in addition to the atmospheric pressure at the surface, which is roughly 1 bar as well. Therefore, the total pressure at 10 meters depth would be about 2 bars.

90 meters. Every 10 meters, the pressure increases by approximately 1 bar, to this, you have to add the atmospheric pressure, which is also approximate 1 bar.
1 Pa = 1 N/m2 = 10−5 bar = 10.197×10−6 at = 9.8692×10−6 atm,
The water pressure depends only on the depth, not on the size or shape of the vessel. The pressure increases at about 1 atmosphere (or bar) every 10 meters.
If you mean in the ocean, approximately every 10 meters pressure increases by 1 bar. Assuming you want absolute pressure, at the surface you already have a pressure of approximately 1 bar - the atmospheric pressure. You can base your calculations on that.
10 meters of water depth equals about 1 atmosphere.
