These guys are dead dead.
paying a quarter million dollars to get crushed to death with 4 other dumb broads in a sewer pipe. next time just go to saint tropez
$250,000
takes 12 hours
it's about the size of a king-size bed
no windows
you take turns looking out of a 10" porthole at the faint outline of the shipwreck
if they can find it
sometimes they can't find it
Even if everything did go right and this didn’t sink the idea that anyone would pay $250k to spend TWELVE HOURS IN THIS THING with four other people is fucking insane. I am not claustrophobic at all and this is fully nuts.
The second paragraph of that safety blog post falls for the classic blunder of "This thing that is highly regulated might seem dangerous but is rarely an issue, so clearly it doesn't need to be regulated". Uhh, buddy, did you ever consider why it's not usually an issue??? Maybe something to do with strict safety regulations???
The part where they attribute most accidents to operator error is also great. Especially when contrasted with the fact that they're controlling the whole thing with 2 touch screens and a wireless Logitech game controller from 2005 that they can just pass around to whoever and give them full control of the sub at any given moment.
Why would they ever use wireless
It's more
