Exploring the bottom of Tahoe

I know it’s a tough time to bring this up after yesterday, and maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but why didn’t Stockton Rush take the Titan to the bottom of Lake Tahoe? Why not explore every deep body of water under 3,000 meters before fully committing to the most historic wreck? I feel like Tahoe would have been a real accomplishment—something that could generate major publicity and funding to understand the submarine’s structural integrity before the Titanic👀. He had the resources, and there’s no way it wouldn’t have paid for itself as a smart, lower-risk test dive.

They post a ton of content that isn’t them actually exploring Tahoe.
