If this was international waters maybe there are no regulations.

    The company is registered in the US. US law can therefore apply. In fact USA claims jurisdiction where it's very shady to do so (for example just for payments made in USD)

    That's what needs to change. If there was enough support internationally, the UN could facilitate a treaty being signed between nations with uniform regulations on submersibles. Then it wouldn't matter if it was international waters.

    a completely silly use of literally everyone's time and money, as was the search.

    If billionaires want to do life threatening tourism, then let them, but there should be no accommodations for the consequences.
