Deep Sea Submarine Tour is an adventurous rich man in recent years, in addition to rockets on space, another trendy stuff.Even though the fees are high and the submersible space is small, passengers have to bear several hours of sealed darkness. The toilet equipment only has special bags and bottles, but there are still many participants.People in the industry hope that this deep -sea submarine travel will not affect the development of submarine tourism.
Submersible Tourism began in the mid -1980s. Visitors could visit coral reefs in the sea, World War II fighters or ancient ship wreckage, shallow sea bottom.Earlier this year, it was reported that some successful submarine tour companies can earn up to $ 1 million (S $ 1.34 million) per month.
As the technologies such as water pressure are changing with each passing day, the submarine dive is expanded deeply.Since May 2020, some companies have launched a submarine group that explores the deepest earth trench of more than 10,000 meters, Mariana Trench.Hours rose back to the sea, and each passenger charged $ 750,000.The 3810 -meter -deep "Titanine" wreckage ornamental tour launched by the Ocean Exposure Company, which was involved in the incident, charged $ 250,000 per person, which is relatively cheap.
Underwater tourism may damage valuable relics
As early as 20 years ago, the company has organized a submarine tour to watch the wreckage of the "Titani".The earliest British company opened from 1998 to the last time in 2012, and sneaked 197 times. The fare rose from more than $ 32,000 (about HK $ 250,000) to $ 59,000 (about 460,000 Hong Kong dollars).In the meantime and later, other companies joined the itinerary.The report pointed out that even if the submarine tour does not intend to directly touch the "Titanic", it may exacerbate the damage of shipwreck due to collision. The United Kingdom and the United States intends to promote it as the underwater heritage of UNESCO for protection.
