sorry for more submarine posting but...
The submersible was engineered specifically with this sort of expedition in mind and with the help of NASA. It's probably one of the most technologically advanced private submersibles in the world.

Something in the bullet point summary at the beginning made me smirk and it's not anything you're guessing...
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that "travel increases your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19."
All the loving praise and appeals to techno-savantry in the world can't make up for a human being's first instinctive reaction to seeing this thing with their own eyes, which is "Oh look, a morgue slot with some tubes attached".
It's only competing with, what, a couple dozen others? Maybe those ones have madcatz controllers instead.
What's funny is that the Limiting Factor, the actual most advanced sub in the world, had already been operating for 2 years at the time they wrote this. Andy anyone high up at Ocean Gate would have known that.
They literally just spoke with the owner.
“We’re under 500 atmospheres of pressure!”
“How many atmospheres can this thing stand?”
“Well it’s a spaceship, so I’d guess anywhere between 0 and 1.”
