I have a side-question: do they actually see the Titanic directly, when they go down there? It seemed from the pictures that there was only a computer screen in that submersible, and no window. Is it all about seeing it on the screen and feeling the moves of the submersible synchronized to it? That experience feels easily replicable from the surface…
I don’t understand why one would think there is no window. I’ve read a couple of comments like that. The thing is called “cyclops”, articles discuss the large porthole dome window, and it’s fairly visible in photos.

There was a Washing machine sized glass window Directly at the shitter so you could see out while having the “tasty” smell of fresh pee / poo directly under you.
Aaaah alright so the point does make more sense to me now. Particularly when you describe it so attractively. 😉
It still feels like visiting other people’s graves from a horrid and painful mass death, so definitely not for me even if it was safe and cheap, but at least now I get why some people do it, when, ya know, they don’t know what to do with their money and don’t mind dying.
Seems like just the worst design. Imagine you’re in this tiny death trap, finally got to the shipwreck after waiting 2.5 hours, then someone is “oh I gotta use the bathroom” and sits down and closes the curtain.

Forgot to add a picture so for the toilet so yeah here it is you can see the window on the left of the Photo
So yeah… if you needed togo you had vision outside and if you wanted to look outside you literarily needed to sit next or on the toilet
I’m disappointed, there is no place I have ever seen I would have liked to poop in more than that one.
