Pressure increases with depth.
The pressure difference between the bottom and the top of an object submerged in the water results in a net upwards force acting on the object, which is the buoyant force.
Mathematically,
#F_"buoyant" = oint quad p quad "d" vecA#
Moreover, Archimede's Principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
