It's been a year since the Titan submersible imploded at the Titanic wreck, a personal loss for ocean explorers. Despite the tragedy, deep sea exploration should not be feared; it offers immense potential for discovery and understanding our world.

The Titan's unique design and safety concerns made it an outlier in submersible history, highlighting the importance of established safety protocols. Properly certified submersibles have a long record of safe dives, contrasting with the Titan's ill fated journey.

The incident draws parallels with the Titanic, emphasizing the need for stringent safety regulations. Like the Solas regulations post Titanic, stricter rules should govern submersible operations to prevent future tragedies.

Experimental crafts can advance technology, but safety should never be compromised for innovation. Titanic and Titan share a narrative of overconfidence, showing the dangers of dismissing warnings and cutting corners in design and operation. The Titan disaster should lead to improved safety measures and a greater appreciation for the risks and rewards of deep sea exploration.
