“You can’t use radio waves underwater, so there’s no GPS, you have to use sound to communicate.Gallo detailed. The ocean “is completely black, the pressure is intense, it’s a very different world from the one we live in here under the sun,” the oceanographer added.

Therefore, research into the submarine will certainly continue, Gallo said, “to learn from it and improve maritime tourism.” In addition, “a lot is going to change from a scientific point of view.”

The Titanic’s advisor also indicated this they will continue to study the site of the shipwreck to “preserve it for future generations”.
