In a video I heard the CEO say they have spare ones on hand, just in case. But still, having my life depend on a Bluetooth device seems just wrong. Why not go with a direct cable? Much less to go wrong!

    I don't disagree. I almost refuse to use even wireless headphones myself.

    However all the fail-safes on the sub were quite decent in my opinion so the controller isn't really life-critical. The issue was that none of the safety features protects you from far exceeding the rated maximum dive depth. They probably didn't know what hit them.
