People keep posting the Ocean Gate sub. This guy left that company in 2013.

https://nypost.com/2024/06/25/us-news/oceangate-co-founder-to-lead-dive-into-deans-blue-hole-in-bahamas/

Guillermo Söhnlein founded OceanGate in 2009 with Stockton Rush — who was one of the five killed during last June’s doomed dive — but left and started another deep-sea company, Blue Marble Exploration.

This year, Söhnlein plans to descend in a submersible on a danger-filled expedition into “Dean’s Blue Hole” in the Bahamas — one of the world’s deepest ocean sinkholes.

He will be joined by scientist Kenny Broad and chief medical officer and former NASA astronaut Scott Parazynski on the journey “in search of unprecedented findings.”

So he’s taking a real scientist and a former astronaut on his yet unscene submarine to an actual unexplored part of the ocean. While this could just be a hype game for future commercial BS, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Given the Oceangate reputation, I’ll assume that Scott Parazynski will bail if the ship is unsafe. The Oceangate deigned was notorious in the private submersible community for being an unsound design. Light weight, “Space Age” materials makes no sense when you want the vessel to sink.

I’ll never give a billionaire the benefit of the doubt. Let them prove it.

Worry more about the media trying to tie his current activities to anything that lead to Rush’s disaster. They’re just driving clicks.

That sub looks like a giant Fleshlight.

Fitting since the people inside are all dicks.
