Walking by this beachfront billionaire house, the garage was open & I saw this. This chamber has a bench in it for seating maybe 2 people max. Oxygen chamber perhaps? (lemmy.world)

I regret not getting clearer pictures to zoom in and see the words on the instruments but I felt the need to be discreet as I was just walking by, these ocean-front home garages are rarely/NEVER left open unattended. What is this mystery chamber?

One more different angle picture in the comments, you can see the seating bench in the chamber.

What I thought too, but it's not like you can climb out the water with the bends and stroll home.

    Yeah my idea exactly. What would you even do with a hyperbaric chamber

    Edit: apparently it has health benefits

    If I was filthy rich and had the space, I'd go for it. Be interesting to see how fast my flesh wounds heal, throw my wife in there when she has a headache.

    No but it could mean the difference between having one available for you to get rushed to by emergency services rather than the local hospital which may or may not be close by.
