Dives to the Titanic will be open to the public from 2021

For the first time in 15 years, private dives will be allowed to the Titanic wreckage.

A company called OceanGate Expeditions are offering private dives to regular people to visit and look at the remnants of the ship that sank in the famous 1912 catastrophe. 

More than 1,500 people lost their lives with the ship sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912.

Speaking to Bloomberg, president of the company Stockton Rush, said three dozen people have already booked for the first six dives early next year.

Stockton explained that ‘all the bones are gone’ in the wreckage. They said: “There are no bodies down there. There are boots and shoes and clothes that show where people were 100 years ago, and that is very sombre.”

It’s a little more of a strenuous application process than your usual holiday activities.

The website states they are looking for ‘citizen scientists’ to join their crew as ‘Mission Specialists’ and examine some of the 300 unique species of sea creatures on the Titanic.

The website reads “Mission specialists are adventurers and citizen scientists who support the expedition through various sub-nautical and oceanographic roles”

You’ll have to fill out an application where you’ll be asked about your height, weight and if you’re prone to seasickness or claustrophobia. 

Once approved, you’ll have an interview over Zoom or Skype and if successful you will be offered a position as a Mission Specialist Crew Member. 

As you might have guessed, this once in a lifetime experience comes with a MASSIVE price tag.

The eight-day sail will set you back $125,000 (£96,368.75). You’ll get a single dive of the 25 nautical mile wreckage that will last six to eight hours.

If you’ve got the dollar (and the b*lls), apply here.
