<p style="margin:0px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">- the question is not which controller your sub has. </span></p>

<div>my ambient sub had a game controller controlling speed, steering, ballast & a few other things. They have been tested and abused by several million kids. :) . But aside from that I had back up for all those functions so if it failed the sub still operated. And I am sure Oceangate would have done the same. ABS & DNV-GL have a principal that no one failure can cause a catastrophic event. Even though I have heard they weren't certified, they would certainly have been building to the rules.</div>
<div>All a bit strange as they were only half way to the wreck.</div>
<div>If the hull had have imploded it would have failed at maybe 1/4 of its crush depth. If power failed they would have gone to the surface, & should have had surface coms that would work with a back up battery.</div>
