Mexican visitor on a previous trip (he also had his dives cancelled but makes it to the Titanic on another mission on another part). Turn on the subtitles. This trip is on the Horizon Arctic oilfield servicing ship which is a lot nicer than the 1959 ship they started using this season to save money. One of the big problems with servicing the vessel are likely due to the fact that they couldn't work on the sub on the deck anymore and they ended up towing it behind the Polar Prince which is a 64 year old ship. Of course that doesn't solve the problem of the carbon fiber pressure vessel falacy that Stockrush Rush sold himself on.

There is a really good walkthrough of the actual technology of the platform and mechanical principles of the internals by Stockton at around 18 minutes in the video. This is the best explanation of the compressed air ballast system, cameras, syntactic foam, and especially the drop weight system that I've seen in any media.
