The HBO chamber is pretty much a big air tank that you climb into and they seal off. I gather they vary in size some. Then pure oxygen is slowly pumped in, raising the pressure up to 3 times atmospheric pressure. You stay in for a while, read a book, sleep and then they slowly bring you back to normal pressure. The term "dive" is a bit misleading as there is no water involved.
As long as you have clear ears or can "pop" them you wouldn't really notice anything much.
Take care
PS how is summer?
