Yeah I watched this last night.
Being cut in half and having your organs yeeted out at warp speed seems like a fun way to go.

i got lost in the world for a little bit and noticed my watch screaming at me - I was at about 140 and dropping. That was a bit of a 'don't freak out...be calm and get yourself under control and back to 120ish...' moment. I have never had even a little bit of interest in those super-deep dives. A) the training/preparation is crazy but B) I've just heard too many stories about guys having to watch their dive buddies just float to the bottom knowing that they're going to die but they can't do anything about it. There's some absolutely chilling shit you'll read about when that happens.

You can skip to the 9:15 mark if you want to see the dive cam footage of a man just before his death.

With the "safety systems" they have to release ballast to allow the tank to rise, it appears to me that the tank is being held or restricted from coming to the surface. It could be hung up on some junk on the Titanic, or stuck inside some part of it.
If this POS has done multiple dives, it is possible that the carbon fiber hull has undergone cyclic stresses due to the pressure flex/release too many times and weakened the hull? Sounds like these gooney birds may not have thought to test that... The submarine I was on did "test depth" dives a couple of times. Hearing that HY80 steel groan and bitch is unnerving. And we sure as **** didn't go down any 12,000 feet. That would be some hellacious pressure excursion to put anything through.

I can imagine you probably lose some sense of comprehension when you're down that deep and it's probably trippy as **** and you don't realize how serious the situation is. Not having a tether makes sense, but not having an easy way to bring the submersible back up if something goes terribly wrong or a way to get out is just incredibly moronic.

not necessarily but when you look at everything as a whole - lack of texts (they had a way to text message the surface) , 7 different redundant systems to float it back to the surface, the mechanical sand clock to release ballast after some hours...
I think it is more likely than not that the hull is destroyed rather than them just resting on the bottom , suffocating. Much more likely... But the answer to your question is no, I wouldn't trust this dude to work on my actual camper let alone a submarine built with camper parts.

Even if you hit a 120' you can die if you don't do your ascent properly and get the bends. |

Mythbusters did a segment where they wrapped a human skeleton in pig flesh, sent it down 300 feet, then disconnected the dive suit. It wasn't instantaneous but sure enough everything got sucked into the helmet, pretty soon all you could see through the mask was blood. Pretty creepy.

I wonder if everything was going great and it just exploded or was it like an uh oh something's ****ed up and everyone started to panic, then it blew up? There is also the possiblity that all those systems he had designed didn't actually work or they did and the GPS is ****ed and they're cooking inside this metal pop can on top of the ocean. |

This thread is starting to creep me out even more than this thread was creeping me out yesterday.
