Most submarines, airplanes, space capsules, etc, anything
built to contain or hold out pressure, are designed so the
doors use that pressure to hold them closed and re-inforce the
sealing action. It is a safety issue. If that's the case in SkyDiver,
then it wouldn't be possible to open the door with the weight of
water behind it in a flooded tube, especially hundreds of feet
down.
