Indeed, a pressure of 1 atmosphere ~= the pressure of 34 feet of water.
Deepest see explorer go down below 5,000 meters.
16 404 / 34 = 482 atmospheres !
Even in space, it shouldn't be too hard to build something to stand 1 atmosphere.
I don't think airplanes are air tight. That could explain why it would be hard to maintain a pressure of 1 atmosphere in one of those when they fly at 35,000 feet
