Ohio Billionaire Plans Titanic Dive with New Submersible

Larry Connor aims to prove the safety of deep-sea exploration following last year's OceanGate tragedy.

Larry Connor collaborates with Triton Submarines to develop the Triton 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer.
The mission seeks to restore confidence in submersible technology after the OceanGate disaster.
The new submersible will undergo rigorous safety certifications, unlike the ill-fated Titan.
Connor and Triton CEO Patrick Lahey plan to conduct the dive by summer 2026.
The expedition will also serve as a scientific study of the Titanic wreckage.
