Josh Gates, the host of Discovery’s Expedition: Unknown, revealed today that he dove in the same sub that is now missing near the wreck of Titanic.
Gates said that the prospect of getting footage of the sunken ship was a “huge opportunity,” but he decided against a second voyage because the vessel, dubbed Titan, “did not perform well on my dive.” Gates also indicated, “There’s more to the history and design of Titan that has not been made public — much of it concerning. “I had the unique opportunity to dive in the @Oceangate #Titan sub with Stockton at the helm in preparation for its maiden mission to Titanic,” wrote Gates on Twitter. “To those asking, #Titan did not perform well on my dive.
Ultimately, I walked away from a huge opportunity to film Titanic due to my safety concerns w/ the @OceanGate platform,” he continued.I had the unique opportunity to dive in the @Oceangate #Titan sub with Stockton at the helm in preparation for its maiden mission to Titanic.
I pray for a positive outcome to the rescue efforts of those aboard, including fellow @ExplorersClub member Hamish Harding. pic.twitter.com/z6jjLf6tO6 The Expedition: Unknown host said that his trip in the sub came with the OceanGate cofounder, Stockton Rush, at the helm.
