"And everyone that stepped onboard the Titan after dive 80 was risking their life."Titan took passengers on three more dives in the summer of 2022 - two to the Titanic and one to a nearby reef, before it failed on its next deep dive, in June 2023.Businessman Oisin Fanning was onboard Titan for the last two dives before the disaster.
"If you're asking a simple question: 'Would I go again knowing what I know now?' - the answer is no," he told BBC News."A lot of people would not have gone. Very intelligent people who lost their lives, who, had they had all the facts, would not have made that journey."
Deep sea explorer Victor Vescovo said he had grave misgivings about Titan and that he had told people that diving in the sub was like playing Russian roulette.
"I myself warned people away from getting into that submersible. I specifically told them that it was simply a matter of time before it failed catastrophically. I told Stockton Rush himself that I believed that.""I had gloves on at the time, but realistically I should have had leather gloves on because their fangs are so big and strong," the 26-year-old says.
"I [just thought] I had better catch it because I kept getting told you're meant to take them back to be milked, because it's so critical.""This is curing my fear of spiders," he jokes.
As Ms Teni offloads one arachnid that was delivered to her in a Vegemite jar, she stresses her team isn't telling Australians to go looking for the spiders and "throw themselves into danger".Rather, they're asking that if someone comes across one, they safely capture it rather than kill it.
