It is virtually impossible to dive to the TITANIC with modern day scuba gear. Submarines are the only means of transportation to the great ship. The reason that the scuba gear will not work is because of the pressure. The pressure is so great, that if there was a leak in the submarine, it would be powerful enough to slice a human body in half. The submarines used to go to that extremities are very few and most of them are either owned by the US Navy or oceanic researchers. This summary also tells you that it's amazing that all those artifacts have survived the pressure for 96 years at the bottom of the ocean. There's glass plates and bottles with corks still sealed and even a crystal glass bottle with the White Star Line insignia still engraved into there. Maybe in the future, we'll have that technology but I fear there will be nothing left by the time they come up with that. My reason is because it takes a very-very-very experienced diver to go to the wrecks of the Andrea Doria or even the Britannic. Maybe it's best that no-one is able to scuba dive to the TITANIC because that would cause more looting, damage to the ship, and possibly more lives due to the unstableness and dark twisted tunnels and caverns in what once was beautiful, large, and airy rooms.
