“I don’t want to have anything to do with it,” the broker said.
Steve Reoch listed the 1996-built Antipodes — which OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush bought used as his first submersible — for $795,000 on behalf of the deep-sea-exploration company and has been trying to unload it for them for the past five years,But he said it’s clear OceanGate has even less of a chance at selling it now — and he’s done trying to peddle it, too.
The vessel, which was built by Florida-based Perry Submersibles, went through “several people and several owners” before Rush bought it, Reoch said. Its maximum depth is listed at 305 meters, or 1,000 feet, far less than the 12,500-foot depth of the famed shipwreck.Reoch said the multiple dives Rush took on the Antipodes — including a shark-spotting expedition with rapper Macklemore — were all “successful.”Reoch also noted that the Antipodes meets industry standards under the American Bureau of Shipping, whereas the ill-fated Titan did not receive the bureau’s imprimatur.
