Hey, we better shut down the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as well.
 
Perhaps Macys could set a new Guiness record for largest He balloon or Nascar for most number of balloons released at a racing event. So many useless and trivial records just waiting to be broken!
 
According to the guy in that video, allowing a midget to waste a million cubic feet of helium means Cleveland will no longer be the butt of jokes.

Good call.
 
Kind of irrelevant, even if your guess were true. Sealab ended more than 50 years ago (a LOT has been learned since then), decompressing too quickly and then going into a chamber is standard Navy protocol, since chambers are always at the surface, ready, for any working dive, and the Sealab divers were saturated at the lab depth (610 ft for Sealab III) so returning to the surface was not an option. Yes, they did excursions to deeper than 610 ft and then returned to 610 ft to off-gas back to being saturated at that depth. But you know all that, so what was your point again?
SeaLab III was never occupied; the death of a SeaLab diver as it was being set up terminated SeaLab III, and the hatch was not opened. Also, they used a submersible decompression chamber to get from the surface chamber to SeaLab III on the bottom.
