Has anyone scuba dived to the Titanic?

The first people to dive down to the Titanic in nearly 15 years say some of the wreck is deteriorating rapidly. Over the course of five submersible dives, an international team of deep-sea explorers surveyed the sunken ship, which lies 3,800m down in the Atlantic. “Titanic is returning to nature,” he added.

Can you dive down to the Titanic?

No, you cannot scuba dive to the Titanic. The Titanic lies in 12,500 feet of ice cold Atlantic ocean and the maximum depth a human can scuba dive is between 400 to 1000 feet because of water pressure. The increasing water pressure also restricts blood flow by constricting tissue.

Are there still bodies in the Titanic?

Only 340 bodies were recovered after the sinking of the ship. Of the roughly 1,500 people killed in the disaster, about 1,160 bodies remain lost. The ghostly shoes and boots scattered around the wreck would also suggest that human remains may be buried inside sealed and inaccessible areas of the wreck.
