Sounds like they're able to talk to the sub 7 miles down... Yet these guys had to resort to txt messages.

It's Over
Welp...
I found audio of the ship this morning
The CEO..driver looked and acted goofy af too.Just seen images of the inside of that thing
Maaan, hellllllllllll naw
Amazing what complexion can grant you. He persuaded/convinced millionaires to invest in his company and build a rinky dink submersible that didn't even go through the rigorous testing that it should go through...run by a damn madcatz controller...that's wild.
The Paul allen Octopus is the standard apparently
"The Battle of Leyte Gulf in October of 1944 was, by some measures, the largest naval battle in all of human history, and the first to feature Japanese suicide kamikaze attacks. As a result of the Japanese loss, the Philippines returned to Allied hands and what little remained of the Imperial Japanese Navy ended up returning to the home islands of Japan. The loss of the Musashi itself to planes launched from American aircraft carriers was a decisive blow, and proved the superiority of the carrier over the battleship.
Allen found the Musashi after more than eight years of searching, according to NPR, mainly from his enormous yacht, the M/Y Octopus. The Octopus is a marvel in its own right, with two helicopters, seven tenders, a pool, a underwater viewing room, a full recording studio, a submarine, floodable well deck, and a remote-operated underwater vehicle aboard. That last one is the specific craft that found the Musashi. You can see a slideshow of the Octopus here and some interior shots here."

People Round the world hire that thing out to find important shipwrecks.

That was fascinating to scroll through. I’ve always said “aliens” as we know it definitely exist in the deepest darkest depths of the sea.
Sidenote some of those ROV units are insane
Like for underwater pipeline they have a REMOTE VEHICLE that cuts a trench in the seabed

The Titan submersible that went missing en route to the Titanic wreck was designed to return to the surface after 24 hours, according to Aaron Newman, an investor in OceanGate who visited the site on the vessel in 2021.
Titan is held underwater by ballast — heavy weights that helps with a vessel’s stability — built to be automatically released after 24 hours to send the sub to the surface, Newman said.
“It is designed to come back up,” he told CNN.
Crew members are told they can release the ballast by rocking the ship or use a pneumatic pump to knock the weights free, Newman said. If all else fails, he said, the lines securing the ballast are designed to fall apart after 24 hours to automatically send it back to the ocean’s surface.
Titan’s thrusters are powered by an external electrical system, while an internal system powers communications and a heater, Newman said.
Separately, Discovery Channel host Josh Gates, who went on a test dive on the Titan in 2021, said he learned that year that there were four ways for the vessel to shed weight and bring it back up to the surface in the case of an emergency.
There is a computer-controlled weight release, a manual-valve system that injects air into exterior ballast containers, a hydraulic system to drop weights and an ability to detach from the sled attached to the submersible and help move the vessel back to the surface.
