cámaras hiberbáricas o de descompresión
Explanation:
"saturation diving chambers" are chambers that are used to put divers inside to recover from a situation of a risk of descompression sickness underwater due to situation that can occur during a dive, or after several. It has to do with the changes in your body due to the gases your inhalating and exhalating during a dive and how the pressure undewater affects to it. Under risk of DCS or decompression sickness, a diver needs to receive 100% oxygen and in certain occasions be taken to a decompression chamber due to saturation of nitrogen in the body tissues, which is where the term "saturation" here comes from, in English also commonly called 'decompression chamber' or 'hiperbaric chamber'.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:
Hyperbaric chambers are small medical devices to treat decompression sickness. Decompression chambers are larger, for more than one diver, and are equiped to be lived in for a few days.
