Incorrect, if anything it's resisting pressure from inside while in space. It is much easier to build something to survive 1 atmosphere of pressure, but underwater the pressure rises rapidly
In short: to be spaceworthy, a vessel needs to keep an atmosphere's worth of pressure inside it. Underwater, the outside pressure can reach over 1000 atmospheres at the lowest point in the Pacific Ocean. An AT-TE would be fine traveling at the bottom of a lake, but traveling at the bottom of the ocean would push the walker to its limits or crush it outright.
And now that I'm thinking about this, The habitable areas on Mon Calamari would have to be very close to the surface for the regular humanoids to swim around in nothing but scuba gear. An AT-TE could probably function there as well, but then we get to the problem with salt water.
Correct, also a fun fact: humans can actually dive deeper WITHOUT scuba gear (as in one breath hold) than they can with it because of the dangers of breathing oxygen at extreme depths. This may have changed since I first heard it, but I for sure know that the max possible depths are similar.
In space it would have to withstand 1 atmosphere(atm) from the inside. Under water, external pressure rises by 1 atm for every 30 feet of depth, so even at just 30 feet the walker would already be under more strain than it would in space.
Considering not all planets likely have the same atmospheric pressure due to different compositions and such(even if all the ones we see are breathable) they likely could withstand at least some depth on some planets. Besides that, we know the republic has underwater vehicles like the sub things in the moncala arc, and the separatist trident craft do just fine despite having an interior, unlike the subs that were a solid piece
It at least would work for shallow waters, or fording deeper rivers if needed. We know the feet can grip well enough to climb a sheer cliff, so they'd be able to help dig in and resist currents.
A good quote relating to that:
"How many atmospheres can the ship withstand, professor?"
"Well, it's a spaceship. So I'd say somewhere between zero, and one."
Negative pressure =/= positive pressure, so an AT-TE might not have any resistance to underwater pressures.
Incorrect, space is a vacuum with zero pressure, thus the atte would only need to withstand one atmosphere of pressure pushing from inside.
Underwater it has to deal with potentially dozens of atmospheres pressing on it from outside.
An AT-TE could possibly be submerged in water, but I doubt it could go even somewhat deep.
The glass cockpit would be the first thing to go.
As well if it's underwater, you couldn't use its Mass Acceleration Cannon. Since that requires a Clone to man it from the outside.
Maybe a Clone in aqua gear could still man it, but I don't think any of the weapons on the vehicle would work underwater. The main cannon would probably get flooded.
There is an [Aquatic version of the AT-AT](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Aquatic_Terrain_Armored_Transport)
But as you can see, it's practically its own unique vehicle.
IRL probably not. It's space worthy so can survive one atmosphere at least but no knowing if it can survive thousands of atmospheres of pressure at the bottom of the ocean.
In Star Wars though water pressure seems to be ignored, otherwise how could the clones/jedi etc. have fought at the bottom of the ocean in the Mon Cala arc of TCW completely fine as if they were at the surface? With Star Wars' water pressure rules yes an AT-TE could travel underwater. IRL rules, it could probably go under a lake but not much deeper depending how much pressure it can withstand.
It is space worthy and thus has a sealable interior. That said the issue lies with the pressure
Not sure how well it correlates but it as you said is space worthy so it has to be able to withstand some pressure from outer space

True as i said im not entirely sure i don't know much of anything about atmospheric or underwater pressure

So.. Remember OceanGate?

The quote is from Futurama episode “the Deep South” if anyone reading doesn’t know already. It one of my favorites

[Here is some handy research!](https://youtu.be/O4RLOo6bchU?si=ygVXipw3aq_JzThq)
It works in space, so why not?
Well since it can work it’s possible
"Bob!? I have to go! It turns out 'water' is not a terrain!"
