Much of this depends on what exactly Glenn wants to fill the dome with. If its gas then it will get tricky as the atmospheric pressures would get huge with even small to moderate depths. Another potential would be to adapt Laserlight's idea and go for a liquid form of the components so pressure state isn't so much of a problem... though in reality its probably still more efficient to develop a small respirator than build big domes of whatever material.
