OceanGate website still featuring advertisement inviting people to join Titanic wreckage expedition, days after fatal sub implosion
Oceagate, the company which operated the submersible that imploded in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, is still posting advertisements on its website inviting people to join in the expedition to witness the wreckage of the Titanic.

Reports emerged last week that OceanGate Expeditions closed its doors indefinitely after its CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, French diving expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old Suleman died when the company’s Titan sub imploded while on a tour to the Titanic’s wreck, reports The Independent.
But more than 10 days after the tragedy - and a week after it was confirmed, the OceanGate website still features available dates for two separate eight-day expeditions next year, the British newspaper reported.
One pilot, one “content expert” and three mission specialists — or passengers without any previous experience needed who pay $250,000— participate in every dive, reports The Independent.
Apart from Titanic, the company also conducted expeditions to Azores Archipelago in Portugal and to the Bahamas.
Meanwhile, experts believe all planned expeditions to the iconic shipwreck have been cancelled following the OceanGate mishap.
The Explorers Club told The New York Post it knows of no plans still in place for scientific exploratory trips to the Titanic’s final resting spot 12,500 feet below the ocean’s surface — while commercial expeditions appear to also have been grounded — after the implosion of the only tourist craft taking people to it.
