OMG... Go do some research on the bends if this is not making sense. There are web sites/people with way more experience and knowledge than I have.
You can't breath water! the pressure of the air in your body must equal the pressure outside, or you get crushed. The test they are doing is the same as if they were scubaing at that depth and pressure. In this case, they just pressurize the air a whole lot instead of getting wet and wearing masks.
In the other test, they suck the air out simulating altitude.
