    I don’t know much about it, but from what I saw on the news there isn’t regulation exactly. There’s guidelines which he chose not to follow, but he was free to do that.

      Technically, they don’t require any certifications in international waters, and that’s how he side stepped it. The glass was only rated for 1300m. The sub was only rated for 3000m. (Titanic sits about 4000m) They built it from carbon fiber which is good under tension, but terrible under compression… The lack of engineering in this thing was astounding and I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.
