Answer

(i) When the diver moves to a greater depth the liquid pressure increases as liquid pressure at a point increases with the increase of depth from it’s free surface.

(ii) When the diver moves horizontally, the liquid pressure remains unchanged as inside a liquid, pressure is same at all points on a horizontal plane.
