In terms of the maintenance records, yeah.
Below 4,000 meters was not even considered a dive.
It was too shallow.
Well, we were there on one expedition.
So we did five dives over about a week, a week and a half.
And the reason we went Titanic was we were going to the bottom of all five of the world's oceans.
And at one point we had to go to the Arctic Ocean and we were going through the Panama Canal.
We drew a line from the Panama Canal to where we were going in the Arctic.
And it was like right over the Titanic.

We're going right over it.

So we filmed it and we didn't take people down commercially.
We did a film expedition for Nat Geo.
What happened there?
Oh, the Titan.
Two of my friends were on it.
Someone who worked for me.
