I mean, you'd think the fact that you at least get a seat with the Triton one would be enough to convince someone. I guess it'd be significantly more expensive though, since you'd need to pay for your own crew.
You'd have to think that if you had the resources of a billionaire, you could ring up Five Deeps (or Triton directly) and get them to take you down there for the cost of the expedition... Charter a boat to get you out there, compensate the pilot and support crew, etc... Probably all for a similar price as was paid to Ocean Gate.
