The first fatal accident aboard a deep-sea tourist submersible is certain to raise calls for additional safety regulations, but industry experts say any new measures may be impossible to enforce given the international nature of the business.to the wreckage of the Titanic was an outlier, given that the maker of the vessel opted against certifying the vessel, defying industry convention.
But even as industry leaders braced for increased scrutiny, they said it was difficult to forecast what sort of changes may come.In the high seas where the Titan and other submersibles operate, there are no regulations and there is no government that controls international waters.
