What s True
In 2019, explorers made five submersible dives to the Titanic wreck with the DSV Limiting Factor. It concluded that the ship was rapidly deteriorating. What s False
It was misleading for a December 2020 online advertisement to make it appear as if the expedition had just happened. One Titanic historian referred to the expedition as shocking. However, an oceanographer who had also explored Titanic in 2010 said he didn t see what was so shocking about it.
Origin
In December 2020, the website HistoricalPost.com advertised a new dramatic story about the Titanic: “Divers Exploring The Titanic Wreckage Made A Spine-Chilling New Discovery.”
The advertisement led to an 80-page story with the headline: “Divers Explored The Titanic For The First Time In 14 Years – And They Made A Haunting Discovery.” The story also described the “new discovery” as being “deeply shocking.”

‘Salon Of The Sea’
Triton Submarines have launched the first six-person submarine, another jewel to add to Triton Submarines crown. The 3300/6 is so stylish that it seems a shame that it spends most of its time underwater. Burgeoning demand in mega-yacht owners seeking larger subs inspired Triton to produce a suite of six, seven- and nine-person submersible models which will be delivered in the near future. The hospitality sector is receiving requests for submersibles that allow families or groups of guests to partake in experiences that generate unique shared memories. While Triton delivered a 24-passenger submersible earlier this year, the delivery of the Triton 3300/6 represents a one-of-a-kind in the submarine market.

(CNN) Stepping off a yacht and diving to the depths of the ocean in a transparent submarine might sound like an elaborate scene from a James Bond movie.
But thanks to new technological advances, such underwater adventures are now very much a possibility in the real world, provided you have millions to spare.
In a game-changing move for submarine tourism, Florida-based luxury submersible company Triton Submarines has delivered the first six-person acrylic-hulled sub that can dive to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet).
Described as a salon under the sea, Triton 3300/6 features the world s largest transparent, spherical passenger compartment, which has a diameter of 2.5 meters, providing an immersive underwater view for those on board.
