Beachfront billionaire with a SCUBA hobby perhaps? That's a hyperbaric chamber.
What I thought too, but it's not like you can climb out the water with the bends and stroll home.
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.
maybe we're wrongly assuming they use it inside their garage? maybe it's just being stored but idk
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.

According to this site, might not be too expensive (I was thinking 6 figures at least)
