A US reporter who dived in the Titan in the past said the vehicle looked very improvised.

I saw a picture of the interior. A narrow metal tube with no windows in the side walls and a single, small view port in the front. For five people to kneel and crouch in the cramped vehicle for at least 8 hours. "Men staring at steel walls." I wonder how one gets such an idea to get involved in something like that as a "leisure activity". But well, tastes are different. Mine it is not.
