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.

Could it be for diving decompression?

I guess you could use it for that too? And it's not like it's 100% guaranteed that it's only an HBOT chamber, since I'd assume you could use it with just air instead of more-or-less pure oxygen

That is what they use them for. So yes.

I'd be more in the thought of using it for vain and superficial reasons vs. legit reasons.

You'll find Med Spas using them for multi "improve your health, immunity, and skin" holistic crap.

Yeah but you would like only use that for emergencies
