Still...watching the video, I can certainly see why people would want to do this trip, despite the risks. Unfortunately, the person who made this possible cut every corner possible and cheapened out anywhere he could, and thus 5 more people have joined the Titanic.

I saw a delicate look fish swimming on the seabed in that video. I'm amazed that there are species that evolved to survive at pressures that can crush carbon fiber and titanium.
