I can tell you without question, anybody that has the opportunity to dive in the sub and to go

down and see the deep sea will change their perception of the ocean forever. And if you weren't

an advocate for the ocean, you'll become one. Hey everyone, welcome back to the Moan News

podcast. I'm Moshe Wenyu Nu. Special interview for all of you today with the founder of a

submersible company. For many of us, we first learned about these private submersibles with a

disaster back in June just down by the Titanic. Well, Patrick Leahy joins me for a really fascinating

candid conversation about the state of ocean exploration. What went wrong down there? His warnings

to the folks of oceangate about their experimental design. Leahy happens to be the founder and

president of Triton submarines. They've made more than two dozen personal subs for sale. And he

talks about the standards and guidelines that his company and others ascribed to that the folks

over at oceangate with their Titan sub did not. So it's a conversation that looks at the impact

of what took place in June down by the Titanic on the state of ocean exploration. Whether

additional rules are needed here and we talk about why people feel the need to actually personally

go down to the Titanic and explore the ocean floor. It's a fascinating conversation. He's been

an ocean explorer for decades. He talks about what goes into it, what can be seen down there.

And just the amount we still don't know about what is just below the surface here on Earth.

In some cases, we know more about space than what is happening in our oceans. The majority of

Earth is covered in ocean. And we go into why exploration is necessary. Some of the science that's

being discovered now, but the potential for even a cure for cancer being down there. You'll get

a bit of that. But I think all of you will really enjoy this conversation. I received quite an

education as I spoke to him. And really it put into perspective what took place in June, what went

wrong. And just the major differences out there that not all these submersibles are the same.
