It's not even all that innovative. carbon fiber hulls have been used for deep sea hulls for ages. you want to see innovative? look at Triton Subs.

Agreed. There are so many examples of people who invented things nobody believed were possible and changed everything, i.e., the first diving suit, first airplane. A cobbled together submersible, designed to milk profits so billionaires can scratch one off their bucket list, doesn't quite fit my definition of innovation.
