The United States Coast Guard is ill-equipped to handle deep-sea disasters involving missing submersibles, according to Craig Hooper, CEO of the Themistocles Advisory Group. He said that the coast guard has limited capability to coordinate underwater rescues of crews aboard distressed submersibles or submarines. On Sunday, a tourist submersible went missing while on a mission to explore the wreckage of the Titanic, about 700 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. The coast guard has coordinated a search and rescue operation involving the US Navy and private firms from France and the UK, which have specialist drones and search equipment. The incident has highlighted risks associated with the exclusive market of deep-sea tourism. OceanGate, the company that carried out the mission on the missing submersible, is one of many firms that offer wealthy customers trips to view underwater marvels.
