According to OceanGate, the five-person, 6.5-metre-long submersible that went missing on Sunday can dive as deep as 4,000 metres. Here's what that depth looks like.
The bow of the Titanic is seen some 3,800 metres below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, in 1986.
Search efforts continue for the five-person, 6.5-metre-long submersible that went missing on Sunday while on an expedition to see the wreckage of the Titanic. As of Tuesday, the air search had covered roughly 13,000 square kilometres. But the greater challenge lies in searching the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. According to manufacturer OceanGate, the Titan can dive as deep as 4,000 metres, a depth which is unreachable for many — vehicles and creatures alike.
