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.

My thoughts didn't go to diving, but hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

    Probably more likely, I didn't know it was useful for stuff like plastic surgery.

    Some people also just use them for purposes that are less clinical. Hyperbaric chambers back in the day were one of those cure-alls that were and are purported to treat all sorts of ailments, increase mental performance, sense of wellbeing, etc. I imagine it's a mix of real uses and bogus uses, but billionaires love to splurge on that kind of thing.
