At 43:15, a group enters an airlock from the sea floor and the door control panel display is clearly shown. It rapidly counts up from 0 to 4.21 psi, then indicates that the airlock is pressurized. But at the drilling station's depth, at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the water pressure is 15,750 psi. Also, the word "bar" appears just above the 4.21 number. A bar is a measure of atmospheric pressure: one bar is 14.5 psi, or roughly the Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level. But, again, at the station's depth the water pressure would be 1,086 bars. Not 4.21 bars. And even if the air in the station is pure oxygen at the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level (as in manned space missions) the pressure should be 3.0 psi, not 4.21 psi.
