Two years after the tragic 2023 Titan submersible accident that claimed five lives, another chapter in deep-sea exploration is emerging. An unnamed billionaire has reportedly committed $10 million for a daring mission to the Titanic wreck, lying 12,500 feet beneath the Atlantic Ocean .
To support this unprecedented voyage, Patrick Lahey, CEO of Triton Submarines, is developing a $20 million state-of-the-art submersible. Scheduled for completion next year, the vessel promises enhanced safety and reliability compared to previous models.
The billionaire aims to become the first person to descend to the Titanic since the 2023 disaster—hoping to rekindle global interest in the world’s most famous shipwreck . Lahey compares this feat to climbing Mount Everest, citing humanity’s ceaseless drive to explore and overcome peril.
After the Ocean Gate tragedy shook public confidence in private expeditions, this new mission seeks not only personal glory but also to restore trust in modern deep-sea exploration.
