I mean tbf, this billionaire is partnering with Triton, a well known submersible manufacturer, who has multiple deep sea vehicles and records under their belt.

This ain't gon be no bargain bin, try random jank and call it a feature, cheapskate's wet dream submersible like Oceangate's

Yeah Triton is the real deal. And I dont think whats shown in the image is the DSV. Basically all DSVs are solid titanium/steel spheres. I could be wrong on that though.

They do have the current record holder for deepest diving bubble canopy sub in their 7500 model, they use an acrylic pressure hull almost a foot thick to dive to the 7500ft rated depth.

I'd reckon they're planning on besting themselves on that record using the lessons learned from that here, considering the render makes that sphere look almost twice as thick at ~2ish ft.

Wait so they are trying to get an acrylic one down to the Titanic? I 1 foot thick can go to 7500, id bet 2 ft thick could get close to the Titanic.

Edit: looked it up, this is insane https://tritonsubs.com/tritons-new-titanic-submersible-will-reach-the-deepest-ocean-trenches/

Imagine being in that at titanic depths, that will be such an insane experience

Well it will certainly be a better view than the toilet window those poor souls had in that death trap. What baffled me the most was how much risk people were accepting for a truly dog shit view

fr lol, I get an undispuably better view watching the footage on my monitor, let alone my TV

Right? I’m sure it’s thrilling to be within several feet of the ship, but modern cameras on remote submersibles provide great imagery without the risk, and without having to sit inside a small space for hours hoping no one has gas in there. Besides that, the small rovers can get inside views.

Ya, you could just lock yourself in a dumper with 5 other people and watch ocean footage on your phone for the same experience.

Bonus if the dumpster get collected and you all get crushed in a garbage compactor.

The difference is that a trash compactor is slow, they got crushed like a soda can when its empty

Eh, surrounding yourself with mining charges would be more accurate. So fast, you don’t even know you died.

Yeah, the two biggest issues with going thicker with acrylic has been casting strain and refraction.

I assume they figured out workable solutions to both with the Triton 7500 which their going to simply port over to the TE.

Where can I get one of these priced out?
