I am going to guess that this is a DM course you are taking, but your profile says you are both NAUI and PADI so I don't know which. If it is PADI, you should be using the Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving as a resource. The following answers are exactly what you are looking for.
The gauge pressure is the pressure exerted by the water at that depth. At 66 FSW, your gauge pressure would be 2 atmospheres.
The absolute pressure (ambient is the same) is the pressure of the water plus the pressure of the atmosphere. At 66 FSW, the absolute pressure is 3 atmospheres.
Here is an example of how this differentiation can become important. If you are at 102 FFW at sea level, you are at 3 atmospheres gauge and 4 atmospheres ambient. Do the same dive at 6,600 feet elevation, and you are at 3 atmospheres gauge and 3.8 atmospheres ambient--only a small difference in terms of percentage. Go to 34 feet as you ascend at sea level, and your ambient pressure is now 2 ATA, but at altitude it will be 1.8--a 10% difference. Go to the surface at the end of your dive, and you are at 1 atmosphere ambient at sea level but 0.8 ambient at altitude--a 20% difference. So you will see that during a dive at altitude, you will on-gas just about as much during the dive as you would at sea level, so your tissue pressure will be close to the same. As you near and reach the surface at altitude, the ambient pressure is much less, so you have a much greater concern about making a safe ascent.
