[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a long thread, so I don't know if this is already been mentioned. But the reason that the owner of the vessel was able to cut so many corners was because they were exploring an international waters, so no laws applied. Not US regulations nor any other country's regulation applied to this exploration.  The business owner of this venture is a piece of sh!t.[/quote]
The passengers should have done their due diligence. I am shocked that such wealthy people would have climbed into this tin can. James Cameron has been to the same wreck dozens of times and is still around to tell the tale.[/quote]

Was it significantly cheaper to get on the Titan or is there a long waiting list for other submersibles? Maybe it’s pretty much impossible to get a seat on one of the known, certified submersibles?[/quote]
Cameron has his own deep sea exploration company and his own subs. You have a point. I don’t think the others offer commercial tours, probably for very good reasons. [/quote]

I have been trying to find this answer to the James Cameron stuff.  I assume he was on a sub made from the highest standards, and a slew of support to safely do the whole exploration?  Were his research trips just of a completely different element?[/quote]

I was wondering the same--what sets Cameron's subs apart from this Oceangate and wow, now that's something I'd paid $250,000 to experience if I had $250k to blow. Those subs look very cool and high tech, plus you get a panoramic view instead of one tiny porthole.  [/quote]
Cameron’s first dives were made using Russian submersibles. Now money is no object for him so I’d assume he spared no effort in getting the best technology for his diving vehicles. The Titanic is small potatoes to him. Cameron made a successful dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench that is almost 7 miles deep.[/quote]
