Shipwreck dives to Titanic and USS Saratoga

The panel's preferred wreck dives pair Titanic with the carrier Saratoga while stressing that the submersible must be a proven professional design.

Question

If you could visit any shipwreck by scuba or submersible, which would you choose?

Short answer

Titanic and USS Saratoga are the leading choices, provided the dive uses a professionally accepted submersible.

Notes

Any visit to a deep wreck depends on a properly engineered submersible accepted by experienced operators. Titanic remains one panelist's first choice because of its extraordinary historical and material record. USS Saratoga is the naval alternative, valued as a carrier that survived the war before becoming a target. Historical interest does not remove the need for mature engineering and professional safety standards.
