It's a scientific experiment. Think of him as Schrodinger's billionaire.

It's a sub not built with parts acquired from Home Depot and old game console parts. I don't understand the attraction of sunken ships viewed through a 6-inch diameter porthole eliminated by a flood light powered by a battery that also powers your propulsion. Robotic subs with cameras bring back a better view. If it does go south and the bubble pops it seems a painless way to check out. You become a sea creature slushie before your brain can register it happened.

I still assume when this boat cracked, it looked like a gold fish shitting in an aquarium.

They really should look into hosting one of the Presidential debates on one of these things.

About a week after this debacle I took a tourist sub to the bottom of a reef. Pretty amazing experience. Saw white tipped sharks, rays, and a ship wreck. Would recommend highly if you've got kids and need something to do.

I did one in Barbados a decade or so ago. It was a learning experience. I expected a lot of coral and sea life and stuff, but it was mostly just dirt that was underwater. |
