Yes, I just wanted to correct OP statement that "and have more water above you, causing more downward pressure" by pointing that increasing pressure exerts force on bottom side, so in effect it cancels out increasing pressure pushing at top, and so buoyant force is constant. (with added trivia about minuscule changes due to fluid compressibility)

Hmm, I think have gotten my physics backwards with regards to the correlation of more pressure to more downward force.

Thank you for correcting this.
