The company also boasted of collaborations with reputable institutions that have since denied partnering with OceanGate on the submersible in question.
The interior of OceanGate's Titan submersible is seen in 2018.
It “hasn’t been used in a crewed submersible ever before,” he said in a video last year.
OceanGate appears to have also overstated its relationships with two institutions widely respected for their innovation: Boeing and University of Washington.
OceanGate had partnered with UW to create a different submersible before parting ways, the university said in a statement.
