Since the doomed Titan made its descent to view the Titanic wreck one year ago, other unregistered submersibles have been operating within Canadian waters, says the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.

And it’s unclear whether those other vessels have been subject to proper oversight, the independent agency says in a safety letter issued last week to Transport Canada.
