What has the diameter and the area to do with the pressure ?

AFAI, it's *only* the distans from the surface to the the
measuring point that counts (and the specific weight of the
liquid, of course).

It's the same pressure on the bottom of a 2 m high, 1" diameter,
water filled tube as 2 m down in the Atlantic...
