"No... no it's really not.

Water tight is when water can't get in

Airt tight is when air can't get in

So I guess it's similar. But different." Not an illuminating answer... Given that water molecules might be larger than oxygen molecules, then a watertight vessel may still leak air but an airtight vessel wouldn't leak either.

So would a spaceship immersed in water leak? Maybe the seals are different for a vacuum but you'd think it wouldn't?
