A team of 5 “new explorers” embark on the “Unsinkable”®, a revolutionary pocket submarine prototype designed and piloted by billionaire entrepreneur Dick Johnson. Their goal is to be the first tourists to be able to descend to a depth of 3821 meters to admire the timeless majesty of the titanic wreck (via a 4K HDR ++ camera and a superb retina™ panoramic curved 8K XHRD+ screen).

Excerpt from the sales brochure:

“The submarine offers its occupants unparalleled comfort with a vast cabin measuring 2m*1m*1m40 high. Piloting this little jewel of technology is child’s play with a Logitech™ F710 controller connected via Bluetooth. For an additional fee, passengers can also access their Netflix™ series or Spotify™ playlist throughout the journey. The ‘explorer’ package allows you to take part in the expedition for the preferential pre-booking rate of $200,000.00 to experience the adventure of a lifetime. Don’t hesitate! Take the plunge!”
