OceanGate said, “We are deeply thankful for the extensive assistance we have received from several government agencies and deep sea companies in our efforts to reestablish contact with the submersible.” Harding himself had posted on Facebook that he would be aboard the sub.

The expedition headed out to sea on Friday, and the first dive was set for Sunday morning, according to Harding’s post.The expeditions, which cost $250,000 per person, start in St. John’s, Newfoundland, before heading out approximately 400 miles into the Atlantic to the wreckage site, according to OceanGate’s website.
