If that happens, let's hope they can be spotted bobbing about on the surface because they're not getting out without someone to undo the bolts from the outside.

Hopefully it's able to transmit RF on the surface if not from an automated transponder, manually. Maybe a visual beacon too. But sadly I fear it's already met it's fate in the depths :(

Might not even be below the surface could be lost floating along somewhere.

Simon Platts, who directed a BBC documentary episode about the Titan sub last year, said if the vessel was on the water surface it would be really hard to spot.

He said normally the sub comes to the surface and gets in touch with the mother vessel, before they both travel towards each other.

It is a "very small thing in a big ocean" because only the top of the sub floats above the sea level, he said.
