OceanGate is facing even more backlash following the death of five passengers on its Titan submersible. Why is that?

The business was asking for “a committed and competent individual with combination of strong mechanical and interpersonal skills who can work on sensitive marine equipment, perform regular maintenance and operate complex systems to support dive operations.” OceanGate also requested for someone who can work in small spaces, such as going through a 28-inch diameter ring, and is “positive and energetic with [a] good sense of humor.”
