The family of French dive expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet say they will remember him for the rest of their lives after he and four other people died in the Titan submersible accident. “Was everyone aware of everything that was going on? Was there anything that was missed during any kind of inspection?” “Were all the safety procedures followed as closely as possible?” Paschall said. While Nargeolet knew the risks of traveling in a submersible, Paschall said, he wanted to know more about how the company that operated the boat, OceanGate, had maintained the vessel and whether it had kept passengers properly informed. Paschall also recalled Nargeolet as a “really incredible stepfather” - someone who was respectful, loving and funny. “He put so much of his life into that ship.” “And that especially goes for the Titanic,” Paschall said. He was just so comfortable out there and in any ocean and any lake or whatever it was. The ocean, Paschall said, was Nargeolet’s “home away from home. Paschall described Nargeolet, who had led several expeditions to the sunken passenger ship and supervised the recovery of at least 5,000 artifacts, as “the world expert on the Titanic.”
