This mexican guy has some great footage of the time on the vessel, and his dive all in 4k, the native language is in spanish, but once he's on the boat most everything but his little voice over is in english, and youtube's autogenerated translated closed captions are pretty good.

I'd skip to 17 minutes in part 1 if you dont want all the background info where they do the walk around and he shows off the submersible

Part 2 is him recording them doing a test dive, and then going on a test dive, lots of good info but can be skipped too

skip all of part 3

Part 4 is his actual dive to the wreck and worth a watch, and then him talking about it

About 12 hrs of breathable air left.

Yeah that's a fair point, and I'm sure that had a lot to do with it. One thing to point out though is that's not all the employees. There was around 50 employees, and I saw company stats somewhere that said it was around 70% women, the next largest non-white group was hispanic, followed by a small number of asians.

Regardless though the ceo by his own words chose not to hire "experienced" people, instead focusing on youth, and for whatever reason he entered "white" into the conversation. Although based on that picture, it looks like typical leftist speak of saying one thing and doing the exact opposite...

Looks like they’re out of a job!

I've been seeing a lot of **** talking about the playstation controller, but honestly a factory playstation controller is the most reliable piece of electronic equipment I've ever used in my life. I doubt it's what caused their demise.

I bet when/if they find the sub that controller is the only thing still working.

That cock gobbler ruined his own business.

They were using a logitech wireless one that has a 3.6 rating on walmart's website not a factory controller.

The US navy uses xbox controllers to control the periscope on some of their boats, but they use the old school wired usb ones.

As someone who uses a few logitech wireless devices, the keyboard has been great, but at startup sometimes it takes a few tries to wake the computer to enter the bios password. The mouse I liked a lot too, and have never had any connectivity problems with but recently have been getting occasional double clicks when I don't want them, I'm guessing the plastic switch inside is starting to fail or getting worn down, the headset I have has been fine connectivity wise, but their software is atrocious, the battery life isn't as advertised and the power switch is starting to fail (if you turn it on all the way sometimes only one ear works until you tap the switch then its fine)

All were purchased at the same time 3 years or so ago and two have started to fail. Overall I'm very happy with the keyboard, fine with the mouse because I've yet to find any mice that feel as good and don't also have longevity issues, and quite disappointed in the headset as they obviously went cheap on a minor part (or probably even just a bad solder connection) in an otherwise expensive set

I wouldn't trust any of them to be my only controller in a bumper car, let alone a submersible. None of this stuff is made to any sort of grade that instills confidence.
