Problem is that comparing a submarine to a tank is completely invalid. These vehicles are just not the same.

If your tanks becomes unresponsive then you just get out and walk.

Try doing that 12,000ft under the ocean in a vehicle that is locked from the outside.

At that point, design and affordability should be at the bottom of the priority list. But, I guess when you're running a tourism business you gotta keep costs low so you can turn a profit #Capitalism 🤭

I just feel that the fact that you can SEE that they are using such a cheap device to control the submersible makes me wonder what other cost-cutting measures where utilized during the construction of the vehicle.

Adventure tourism is disgusting. #Millionaires are going to pristine, untouched ecosystems are causing havoc. There is even trash at the top of Mt Everest. Maybe some Orca whales decided that enough is enough and sank the damn sub
