I'm struggling to come up with an analogy for how stupid it would be to use carbon fibre for a pressure hull. Chocolate teapot, perhaps?

The primary benefits of CFRP is high strength (in tension) to weight ratio, which is pointless in a submarine because weight is never a big issue*. The one thing you never do with CFRP is put it in compression.

*Unless you're the Spanish and you build submarines that will immediately sink: https://qz.com/86988/spain-just-spent-680-million-on-a-submarine-that-cant-swim

i think you'll find it's revolutionary, no one has ever done it before for some reason.

Using a loving GoPro on a £10 tripod as the sole means of documenting one of the most hazardous dives possible is another amusing indication of how shoddy this whole thing was

it makes good sense, since you have to move the camera to sit in front of the window and take a poo poo

So, lets say they weren't insta-killed by an implosion and they're down there running out of air.

when they die, will they they decompose or will the sealed ice cold container keep them fresh?

Then that toilet window will be something for future billionaires to look through
