Okay, so the first time I went to Titanic, I'm solo in the sub.
They drop you a couple hundred meters away from it so you don't land on it.
That's a requirement.
So I get in the sub, I get to the sea floor.
I'm at 4,000 meters or so.
And I start creeping up to what I think is the direction of the wreck.
At about 100 meters off, I get the first ping on the sonar.
You see it like on a display.
Oh, hey, there's something out there.
And then I get closer and closer and now I'm like 40 meters away, the maximum extent of my lights.
I'm looking out the window, I see nothing but black.
I start inching the sub closer.
Now I'm 20 meters away from what's on the sonar, this big jumbled mass of something.
Okay, is that a rock?
Is something wrong with the sonar?
I'm looking out the window, nothing but black.
So I inch the sub really close.
I'm like five meters from this big sonar target in front of me.
I'm looking out the window, nothing but black ocean.
And then it hit me.
