Sounds like this sinkhole is a non-trivial dive, but depth-wise it's only 200 meters. Pressure vessel engineering should not be the limiting factor. Also, for whatever reason, this guy left OceanGate in 2013.
If they use CF composites again, it doesn’t matter. They have a limited lifespan and will eventually fail from the load cycles of diving and coming back up.
Which is why nobody else uses CF in pressure hulls. It’s a ticking time bomb with no way to properly validate integrity.
They won't. They will use two Triton submersibles, the market leader that builds submersibles for a long time. They are not going to build their own fever dream.
Not to mention the Expedition leader left Ocean gate over 10 years ago.
This is not interesting at all and is click bait that shouldn't even make the news section.
I mean... If I was gonna.,... I'd use triton, too.
We can hope they fall behind maintenance schedules, though. (Also, the last one was their own fever dream... made of CF. Just saying.)
(Also, the last one was their own fever dream... made of CF. Just saying.)
I figured something was odd when the expedition page didn't have pictures of the submersible on it, and just mention it in one sentence somewhere.

The Technology To Get Us There
We push the limits of technology, science, and human endurance to raise awareness of Planet Earth, our “Blue Marble”. For this expedition, we will use a variety of ocean exploration technologies, including:
The Cyclops submersible, made by OceanGate, has eight hours of life support for a crew of five and an emergency system to support five people for four days. With a 57” acrylic dome that allows for 180º degree visibility, Cyclops will enable our crew to descend as far as 500 meters below Dean’s surface with unparalleled visibility. It is equipped with internal and external lighting and video equipment for capturing the highest quality of video content while we explore.
Cyclops can descend 500 meters and is designed to meet the most rigorous needs of governmental and commercial expeditions. With control spheres to house sensors and controllers outside the pressure hull, it has minimal hull penetrations to
Also:
When exploring the depths of Dean’s Blue Hole, we’ll be able to venture beyond the submersible thanks to the EXOSUIT, developed and built in Vancouver by Nuytco Research Ltd. Constructed from aluminum alloy, it’s also lightweight — 500-600 lbs — and can operate underwater for up to 50 hours at depths up to 1,000 feet. A number of rotary joints that mimic elbows, knees, and shoulders allow for significant mobility, giving divers exceptional dexterity and flexibility to perform delicate work. The EXOSUIT is equipped with 852 Ultra-Miniature scanning SONAR.
ooh, can we get Bezos and Musk on this one?
Not yet. The submarine should do 2-3 tours before we get musk and Bezos in, since then its more likely to break.
Nice, lull the billionaires into a false sense of security....then squish!
All the cool billionaires will do it.
Just saying.
Not all…
Nice, all the billionaires should get in the idiot squisher
Sounds dangerous. Should take Musk and Bezos along so their genius can save him in case anything goes wrong.
Don’t forget to take Rupert Murdoch and Julian Sinclair with them.
Throw in Charles koch, the Devos family, her brother erik prince, .... how many can fit in this thing again?
They can fit a lot of clowns in a phone booth. Should be plenty of room for quite a few people.
As many angels can dance on the head of a pin
I wouldn't complain about this becoming an annual tradition.
Someone, once again, has the opportunity to do the funniest thing imaginable

I think I take back my initial statement
For anyone curious Here is Triton's website
And photos of few. The first is meant to go straight to the bottom.
That's a bit different depth than the Titanic at 12K feet.
What can we do to get this guy to design SpaceX's Mars capsule and then put Elon on it?
Okay, so. How much trouble would we get in if he bought Trump and a couple others a trip with a gofundme?
Or do you think the secret service would stop him?
Trump too small to fit in one of these.
Livestream it this time. We can record it and watch an implosion in slo-mo.
You ok? It might be time to take a break; do the whole grass touchy thing. Take a deep breath even.
Maybe it's the arrogant billionaires who need to touch some plant life before they destroy them with their greedy selfish plundering of the planet?
They certainly need to pay for their crimes, but live-streaming their gruesome deaths for entertainment purposes is a step too far.
What is gruesome about instant annihilation?
How deep does grass grow?
While we're at it, the Beegees have a question for you
♪Lightning is striking again♪
♪Lightning is striking again and again and again and again♪
Make sure your affairs are in order. Have a nice trip!
Okay guys, maybe the is a contradiction in capitalism that make it collapse. It just append to be toxic masculinity
I don’t think he’s anywhere near finished carving the submersible
Are they still using COPV’s? The engineer in me needs to know.
Not the wisest idea.
Have you or someone you love been killed in an under water vehicle? You may be entitled to compensation!
Look at this submarine chaser over here
Can ya fit a few more billionares in there this time?
