For more clarification, they were on the high pressure air side. The kind of dives they were doing involved long periods of acclimation to the different pressures involved, so the diving bell was pressurized to 9 atmospheres. Someone fucked up, and the door opened. 9 atmospheres turned into 1 atmosphere very quickly, and the only good thing is that it happened so fast that the deceased wouldn’t have even noticed
If you want to see an episode of a podcast about engineering disasters which is itself, ironically, an engineering disaster, well there’s your problem
Just for what it’s worth, it looks like it was actually an equipment malfunction, not someone fucking up, that caused the accident. The company claimed the person fucked it in an attempt to cover their asses, and they were eventually found to be hiding the truth in a court of law.
This unfortunately happened in real life.
Edit: other way around though. The divers were on the air side (habitable quarters) of the chamber.

Justice should be violent
Some parts of that article are straight horror.
👋 not reading it
Same here, I’ll stick to this comment thread, thank you very much.
Well, it’s good that some justice was finally achieved, but that is depressing level of covering up (as usual)
