My neighbor is actually a 50 year old white guy that was in the navy for nine years all on a nuclear sub. I'll tell him to stand down.

My biggest takeaway from this is that some people have more money than sense.

It should be highly illegal for a submersible device to not have at least two forms of redundant communication with the surface, at all depths. One easy way is to institute a gps/cellular tow line that should float above the surface at all times .

They wouldn't necessarily be crushed as much as vaporized by the violence of the sub failing. The nitrogen stuff happens when your body is put in a high pressure environment and nitrogen compresses and diffuses into your bloodstream. Rapid decompression causes it to very rapidly expand and in extreme cases can literally blow you apart.
The sub was at close to atmospheric pressure, so what happened here is the opposite, Rapid compression. Absent of the sub, I guess they would be smashed and compacted into a shoe box sized spherical blob. With the sub though, it would be a very violent implosion. They basically just cease to exist.
I could have gone my whole life without knowing any of this. Ugh.

Just a pink mist and then nothingness.

Whose jurisdiction would this be in?

Well, in the US I assume it probably is illegal to take paying customers underwater in a piece of shite homemade submarine.
Nothing involving 12,000 feet of depth is easy. It is literally easier to build a safe space ship than a safe manned deep water submersible. An umbilical is what you are proposing. It'd have to be miles long and thus, have to be very heavy and very expensive.

USBL is on the mothership. It interrogates a beacon on the submersible and the beacon/transponder will “respond”.
That Rush guy probably collaborated with his non-“50 year-old white guys” crew and placed a couple Apple Air Tags on the window.

I'm guessing it will never be found. Pieces will start washing up on shore in December

We don't need more laws to regulate stupidity.

For a home-scale test of this, buy a Guinness Drought in a can with the widget. Get it good and cold and pop the tab. That widget releases the nitrogen it is holding under pressure and causes the foamy smoothness. Don't get the bottles, they aren't the same. Get a different beer in a can to compare.

Why did we make it to the bottom of the challenger deep almost a decade before we orbited the moon, with a miniscule fraction of the budget? Literally 2.5 million in today's cost for Trieste.

Why?
How about… hey it’s dangerous. If you get in trouble, no one’s coming to save you. Act accordingly
Why does it have to be illegal?

Because cooperating with gravity is easier than fighting it.
