I have an interesting question, I read on Bloomberg that the Oceangate submersible’s “internal pressure remains constant.”, which I interpreted as the submersible doesn’t pressurize like divers as it goes down, it relies on it’s structural strength to uphold the pressure instead of a balanced internal pressure. As the news has reported it was most likely the submersible imploded pretty violently due to a structural failure. I was curious if the submersible was equally pressurized inside, like divers, and had a crack in the structure at the depth of the titanic, would it implode or leak slowly?
