This is the difficult coexistence inside the 'Titan', a can of luxury sardines

Not suitable for claustrophobic people or other types of people sensitive to small spaces and with human contact. This is the capsule of the submersible Titan with which the company OceanGate offered until now exclusive visits to the wreck of the Titanic.

Barely 7.5 m2 -3 m long by 2.5 m wide, which occupies any single-person public WC shared by five people. With the addition that everyone must travel sitting on the floor of the passenger compartment, without the possibility of getting up, since their height is less than a meter and a half.

Another drawback of the trip, which under normal conditions lasts about eight hours, is that it is also not suitable for people with minimal incontinence, given the impossibility of doing anything. Hence, all passengers have to undertake the trip conveniently relieved and be clear that they must be able to endure the entire journey.

Mobility in the cockpit is minimal, which means that visibility during the visit is also a problem and leaning out of the small porthole in the bow is an acrobatic exercise taking turns. In any case, OceanGate guaranteed sufficient comfort and the guarantee that the visit would also be recorded on video.
