does it work in the same way? imagine a submarine or one of those machine thingies that look at ship wrecks and fish deep deep down, if something as small as a golfball sized hole was to come upon the wall, will the machine completley cave in and shrivel up? or just flood? in talking 10s of thousands of feet here!

That's not explosive decompression - explosive decompression is when a high-flying airplane or similar (which is pressurised to something approaching normal sea-level atmospheric pressure) violently losing that internal pressure.

What you get when a deep-diving submersible develops a leak is implosive compression - they are totally different.

Celery, you give the English educational system a bad name when you cannot even write a comprehensible English sentence.

However, the answer to your stumbling question is simple. If any size hole in the wall of a deep-ocean submersible occurred, one even the size of a needle, the result would be catastrophic. Water would enter the submersible until the pressure inside equalled the pressure outside. The occupants would be crushed to jelly.

When the submersible was brought back to the surface, it would, in effect, be a pressurized bomb. This actually occurred to C. W. Beebe back in the 1930's except there was no one inside. It was a test dive for one of the first bathyspheres. When the bathysphere was set on the boat deck and the hatch was unbolted it shot off like a cannon. Wisely, no one was standing in front of it.

ok fred thats all i wanted to know, i didnt need a critismn on how i type, i dont think any one cares, i think that everyone knows what i mean, i dont need to type perfectly with commas, full stopsad capital letters, i just wanted everyone to feel comfortable in informal language and make it sound like im talking in natural speech, its easier for me and for those reading
i dont want this to sound mean or nasty it wasnt intended that way

The lack of proper punctuation, spelling and grammar tends to make "informal" typing very hard to follow.
