OceanGate, the company that offered the doomed Titanic wreckage trip that resulted in the loss of five lives, is still advertising trips to the 1912 shipwreck despite the tragedy that took place in mid-June 2023.
The company's website indicates plans for two missions from June 12 to 20 and June 21 to 29.
The advertisement indicates that travelers must be at least 17 years old and reads: "Follow in Jacques Cousteau’s footsteps and become an underwater explorer — beginning with a dive to the wreck of the RMS Titanic. This is your chance to step outside of everyday life and discover something truly extraordinary.
"Become one of the few to see the Titanic with your own eyes."
The listing continues, "Intrepid travelers will sail from the Atlantic coast of Canada for an 8-day expedition to dive on the iconic wreck that lies 380 miles offshore and 3,800 meters below the surface. You dive will provide not only a thrilling and unique travel experience, but also help the scientific community learn more about the wreck and the deep ocean environment."
