In the aftermath of the OceanGate tragedy I offered my thoughts on lessons that fishing travelers could learn from the disaster. While I still stand by what I wrote, I don’t claim to be omniscient about the matter. I try to absorb and analyze as many facts and opinions as possible, and the media has done its job of writing about the topic.

You may never have the money to go on an expedition like the ill-fated OceanGate Titan submarine voyage. Even if you have the money you might never have the desire. Nevertheless, if you’re into fishing travel – or any travel at all, for that matter – there’s always a certain element of risk involved.
