Ok so they have SONAR…



But look at this other photo…

Why are there dents like that in the hull liner?

The swagelok valves on the thruhulls (bulkhead fittings) and amateur looking tube fitting would concern me…



Hopefully this last image is the prototype as opposed to Titan.

I see where they were going with this… kinda like an undersea version of SpaceX… lower cost of entry. SpaceX hasn’t killed anyone yet that I am aware of.
