Do some people have too much money?
A US billionaire and a deep-sea explorer plan to explore the Titanic in a submersible, the Triton 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer, which can safely reach depths of 3,800 meters.
The private submersible industry faced challenges after a vessel built by OceanGate imploded en route to the Titanic in 2023, resulting in the deaths of five people.
The proposed voyage will only proceed once the vessel is fully certified by a marine organisation.
The pair aims to demonstrate the safety and wonders of deep-sea exploration, hoping to revive interest in the private submersible industry affected by the Titan disaster.
