Not hundreds, that person was incorrect. Their entire fleet of 3 subs had done around 200 dives total, so none of those 3 subs has done hundreds of dives. Depending on which source you read, the Titan had been to the Titanic between 3 and 14 times prior to the accident. It seems even the journalists reporting on the story couldn’t get solid facts out of OceanGate.
Also, Titan was the only sub they actually designed and built.
Their first two subs were purchased. They didn’t design them, they didn’t build them.
They used their first sub pretty much as it was. They used their second sub as a kind of trial platform to develop some of the systems that they later used on Titan - stuff like the game controller for steering the sub, for example.
