OceanGate is still advertising expeditions to the Titanic shipwreck on its website.
The deep-sea adventure company is listing two missions to the shipwreck in June 2024. The website said the 2023 expedition was underway and potential customers should inquire about available dates.
The website also said travelers may be joined by French diver PH Nargeolet — one of the people who died on board the Titan submersible earlier this month.
OceanGate's submersible imploded with five passengers on board, hours into a dive to see the Titanic wreck. The craft lost communication with its surface vessel two hours into its descent, sparking a highly publicized search-and-rescue attempt. OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush was also on the craft.
On Wednesday, the US Coast Guard said "presumed" human remains were collected from the Titan submersible wreckage.
Representatives for OceanGate did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, made outside normal working hours.
US and Canadian officials are investigating how and why the submersible imploded.
Significant concerns have been raised about the safety of the craft since it first disappeared and several previous passengers have come forward with issues. Alan Estrada, an actor, said the Titan submersible suffered a communication failure during his trip to the Titanic.
A 2018 lawsuit appeared to show the company was warned about safety issues with its submersible years before the catastrophic implosion. A former OceanGate employee warned the sub's safety could be compromised by poor "quality control and safety" protocols that "paying passengers would not be aware" of, according to the lawsuit.
