    Most submarines/submersibles can’t actually get that deep, and of the few that can, some are government run and others are already on other projects.

    What made OceanGate’s Titan unique is that they were selling expeditions to the Titanic.

    Now with all that said, if I had the disposable income to take on such an expedition, $250k sounds way too cheap/good to be true. Unfortunately in this case it was indeed too good to be true.

      OceanGate was skirting safety protocols with the Titan.

        Yes I think that’s a very agreeable statement.
