It doesn't. Oceangate is completely dissolved.

The co-founder of OceanGate started his own company called Blue Marble Exploration, and they are planning to start SCUBA diving in Dean's Blue Hole.

Not the same company. No submersible involved at all.

Literally nothing newsworthy about this than the founder's connection to OceanGate.

He also left the company in 2013. This is just ragebait headlines.
