"This can't be the end of deep ocean exploration. This can't be the end of deep-diving submersibles and I don't believe that it will be," said Guillermo Sohnlein, emphasizing his belief in the future of deep sea exploration despite the tragic incident.
"We wanted to give humanity greater access to the ocean, specifically the deep ocean," Sohnlein explained, outlining OceanGate's vision and aspirations in expanding oceanic access through innovation in submersibles.
Sohnlein mentioned that "the use of carbon fiber was not a novel idea" and highlighted the challenges faced in developing the Titan, which necessitated the decision to build its own submersibles.
He reflected on his decision not to dive in Titan, stating, "I didn't want to take space away from potential customers," shedding light on his perspective as a co-founder regarding passenger priority.
