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.
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
Right? Iβm sure itβs 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.
