But I don’t believe OceanGate did that. They took a $447K PPP loan in 2020 and had $450K forgiven. There’s no ****ing way this company should’ve been operating for commercial travel with all the corners they cut. |

Our boat was Topeka sub class of 688's so we did not go as deep.

But you really need to have a really good reason to do trimix, hypoxic trimix, and even CCR IMO. It's a very expense game and if you're not living where you can do it a lot, you can go poor just lugging the stuff on planes. But if you really want to dive something like the Might O (Oriskany) in Florida: Or the wrecks in Truk lagoon: You'll want some of these advanced skills and certs to make it worth it.

The Narwhal was 100% the foshizzle. SOOOOOOOO cool... I'm shocked the 88s didn't take more of her idea and put them into their platform. But these new Virginia class boats seem to be one hell of a platform, and not as spendy as Seawolf, so it's a win... And that escape trunk if my favorite feature. Getting in and out via the forward escape trunk was only fun the first few times.

I served on 688's and SSBN's but also on Submarine NR-1 (Rickover's baby -Nuclear Research 1) which went well beyond those depths. It had viewing ports, manipulator arm, Tines and basket. A million times different from a fast attack or boomer sub. Interesting, scary and exciting all wrapped up in a 135 ft, tiny reactor, four thrusters, a 12 person underway crew submarine with alcohol filled wheels...
