Describing his experience of going on a test diving in the Bahamas in 2019, he said that he had heard gun-shot-like noises every three to four minutes. He also said that he had raised his concerns about the carbon fiber hull and warned that it would worsen. He added that he had no doubts that it was the carbon fiber hull that failed. The two friends had a heated exchange of calls and emails. Multiple agencies are investigating the incident. The US Coast Guard, the UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch, and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada are probing the mishap from different angles. Structural titanium rings were seen at the front and rear of the submersible in the pictures of the fragments of the submersible.
