The desperate search to find the missing submersible dedicated to exploring the remains of the Titanic continues and more and more testimonies are being recovered of what this maritime adventure offered until very recently, which has ended up taking a dramatic turn.
Among the adventurers and tourists who resorted to this experience is the youtuber Alanxelmundo, who participated in the OceanGate Expeditions adventure and told on his channel of the video platform how he lived submerging to explore the seabed in the claustrophobic device.
In fact, that was one of the conditions they put on him before starting: that he not suffer from claustrophobia. He also tells that extensive security measures and checks were followed before descending to the seabed to live the experience.
Alanxelmundo remembers that the submarine has air to survive 5 days underwater and that he himself carried a backpack with water, food and his camera with which he immortalized the trip to the remains of the Titanic that have attracted so many people around the world.
The protagonist of this trip highlights all the work equipment that allowed him to go down to the depths of the ocean, explore the remains of the ‘Titanic’ for an hour and be able to record part of the experience, which he describes as “incredible”. Even so, criticism of the management of the company OceanGate Expeditions is not spared.
Among others, their impediments to record certain parts of the journey; the short time that the exploration of the ship lasts (in his case, only 1 hour of the 8 required to go and return, although the company assures that it is 4 hours); the high price of $250,000; and the company’s lack of customer service. “They know a lot about submersibles, but there is a lack of information and good treatment for the traveler,” he laments. “The company still has many aspects to polish,” he concludes.
The youtuber is hopeful that the disappeared have been able to surface and that they are really waiting to be located in a much less dangerous environment than under the sea, noting that many have done the adventure before and that there are many security measures.
