All chambers will eventually flood what I think has been missed is that the pressure will build up even before a chamber has flooded as the incoming sea will compress the air so the seals would fail (possibly) before they are reached by water. (assuming we modify the experiment to have the apparatus lying on its side as per d@rk51d3suggestion)

PS thanks for the thinking material Sunday was starting to drag
