Your questions don't quite make sense. The defition of the units of pressure are as defined at different levels, usually sea level I mean at 1 atmosphere psi is around 15 lbs
An atmosphere is a unit of pressure; the pressure that will support a column of mercury 760 mm high at 0 °C.
I think what you are asking is what is the equivalent pressure at 6ft below sea level if you are under water? I think it is about 3 psi but don't qoute me on that one. The equivalnet to being 1 atmosphere below water is about 30ft I think. Sorry but this is all from memory. Hope that helps

at 6 ft: 0.18 Bar above atmospherical pressure
1 atm is the pressure of the air (at sea-level), not a depth.
1 atm. is apprx. 1bar: on 10 m or 30 ft. below the surface

Pressure = density of the fluid times the height. There is guage and absolute pressure.
The density of sea-water = 64.08 pounds per cubic foot.
