Yes, that's correct. The pressure chamber is the hull that separates the 1 atm of pressure inside from the 375 atm of water outside. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.
Turns out I'm to drunk to read. Sorry, I misread the headline. Man, I hate english writing words separately...
No worries, had a feeling it was something like that. It also doesn't help that there's a line break between "pressure" and "chamber" (at least on my screen), so it's an easy mistake to make.
Look at this interaction, just look at it. Everyone playing nice, nothing toxic in sight. If this were Reddit we'd have started a flamewar.
I freaking love Beehaw, stay classy Beeple.
Same line break on my screen. Thanks, that's one more thing to blame.
