There's a big reason most ships and vessels are not made solely of carbon fibre - which can be incredibly strong in many circumstances. It has very mediocre compressive strength....A small ding or nick could compromise the entire structure at these pressures, maybe even something that is entirely unnoticeable.
The French guy is basically a part of this company. He's not a guest. He's been on almost every video and every dive this company has made through the years by being Rush's "expert" to give it more legitimacy to the actual guests.
