The organizing company mentions on the web a Nargeolet, a veteran of expeditions to the transatlantic ocean —has directing media teaching them— as one of the experts who guide the tourists in these immersions.
OceanGate Expeditions, which operates submarines for deep-sea expeditions, offers tourist trips every day and night to visit El Pecio del titanic, for a price of $250,000. El dinero recaudado was intended for a sober investigation into the transatlantic hunt against an iceberg in 1912, in a shipwreck in which more than 1,500 people died. The depth and the remoteness of the waters in which it encloses, and the hardness of the climate, hicieron que los restos del legendario buque no se localizaran hasta 1985.
At the beginning of this month, OceanGate had taken all the travel, indicating that you were in contact with your ship via Elon Musk’s Starlink system, which provided internet and communications on board. “We want to be in the North Atlantic climate, we have the connection that we need for our diving operations in the titanic sean a exito. ¡Gracias, Starlink!”, indicated the mensaje el 1 de junio. La compañía tuiteó por última vez subre este tipo de expedition el viernes.
For decades, private companies have taken a hiking trip to see the restaurants in the titanichowever the distance from the place of the shipwreck and the depth of the restaurants (at a surface area of less than 3,800 metres, which in a small submarine can be reached late in every hour) make it easy to buy a boat at sea: the price of some expeditions exceeds the 200,000 euros, not including los tralados a Terranova.
Tan just last week, the OceanGate web page hacía advertising of this type of adventure: “Siga las huellas de Jacques Cousteau y conviértase en un explorador submarine —empezando with an immersion in the pecio of the RMS Titanic. This is his opportunity to abandon the daily routine and discover algo de verdad extraordinario”. “Conviértase en uno de los pocos en haber visa el titanic con sus propios ojos”, alentaba.
The trip of each day starts from Saint John, in Newfoundland, from where a boat travels to trip the tourists to the point where they meet upon the Titanic. After a couple of days of familiarity with the submarine, the dive begins. “Once the submarine will be launched it will empezará in ver forms that seem from another world pass before the ojo de buey mientras usted desciende más y más en el Oceano. The descent lasts two hours, but if it feels like an open and closed eyes”.
