An experienced diver who says he knows three of the five people on the missing submarine who disappeared during a scuba dive to explore the Titanic wreckage is not optimistic they will be rescued.

G. Michael Harris, a Titanic diver who has made multiple visits to the wreckage to recover artifacts, made the comments Monday night on Fox News in an interview with Jesse Watters. He said he has “unconfirmed reports” that three people he knows are aboard the Polar Prince, which disappeared 900 miles off the coast of Massachusetts, including one who was one of Harris’ subpilots.

He emphasized that the Polar Prince descends to extraordinary depths to reach the wreckage of the Titanic; the journey down takes two and a half hours and over 10,000 feet.

“Is there anything the United States Navy can do right now?” Watters asked Harris.

“No. No. I mean, I don’t see anything that could happen right now,” he replied, “when you’re talking about 6,000 pounds per square inch, it’s a dangerous environment. More people have been in space than in this depth of the ocean. When you dive in these situations, you have to cross your T and dot your Is. You have to do everything perfectly and by the book.”
