Also a cylindrical design for a submersible that goes that deep is a terrible decision and there is a reason why all other deep diving submersibles are spheres. It works for military subs because they are much shallower vessels comparatively.

Leaders in the submersible vehicle industry sent a letter to OceanGates chief executive, Stockton Rush, in 2018 warning that the current experimental approach of the company could result in problems, from minor to catastrophic. The letter was obtained by The New York Times and confirmed by one of the signatories. It was not immediately clear whether Oceangate had responded.

I feel like the submarine might just be a fetish thing for the rich people. A billionaire isn't going to have smelled anyone else's poop for years, just perfectly clean toilets for their own personal use. They're going in the fart coffin because they want to sit next to someone making GBS threads behind a curtain.
