Humans have scuba dived deeper than 663ft. This isn't even remotely comparable to what the last sub went through. I'm guessing this location was chosen as an easy win for the publicity.

Also, how does this company even still exist? I'd assume the victims billionaire families would have sued them out of existence/way into bankruptcy.

It doesn't. Oceangate is completely dissolved.

The co-founder of OceanGate started his own company called Blue Marble Exploration, and they are planning to start SCUBA diving in Dean's Blue Hole.

Not the same company. No submersible involved at all.

Literally nothing newsworthy about this than the founder's connection to OceanGate.

What does Dean have to say about this?
