over the weekend — but refused a second voyage because of safety issues that haven’t yet “been made public.”
“I had the unique opportunity to dive in the @Oceangate #Titan sub with Stockton at the helm in preparation for its maiden mission to Titanic,” Gates“To those asking, #Titan did not perform well on my dive. Ultimately, I walked away from a huge opportunity to film Titanic due to my safety concerns w/ the @OceanGate platform,” he“There’s more to the history and design of Titan that has not been made public — much of it concerning,” he wrote.
— in part because OceanGate opted against certifying it through groups like American Bureau of Shipping and Det Norske Veritas in Europe.
