The implosion of the submersible belonging to the private American company OceanGate, which left five people dead, has not discouraged Larry Conner, a billionaire active in the real estate sector in the United States.
The man decided to build a high-performance two-person submersible, “with an acrylic hull and a diving capacity of up to 4,000 meters.” The Triton 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer was developed in collaboration with Triton Submarines co-founder Patrick Lahey for a whopping $19 million. The submersible was designed to visit the Titanic and prove that the industry is and remains reliable, despite the “OceanGate” incident last June.
The duo then hopes to offer exclusive trips into the depths of the ocean and, through these expeditions, demonstrate the full potential of these machines and, above all, their safety. Cost of such a trip? Around $762,000 per dive.
