• OceanGate has taken down all its social media pages, and its website has gone dark.
  • This comes a week after the company said it's suspending "all exploration and commercial operations."
  • As of press time, only OceanGate Foundation's website remains active. 

OceanGate has gone dark on the internet and scrubbed its digital footprint off social media after announcing that it'll be suspending all deep-sea explorations.

As of press time, OceanGate's website and social media accounts were not accessible to the public. Insider was not able to verify exactly when OceanGate took down its website and social media profile.  

Both the OceanGate and OceanGate Expeditions websites currently redirect the user to a page saying that the company "has suspended all exploration and commercial operations."

An archived version of the OceanGate Expeditions website, dated July 8, shows that the company had initially included the suspension notice at the top of the website. The archived version of the website included links to pages on their expeditions and submersibles.

OceanGate's digital scrubbing extends to its social media accounts as well.

Both the OceanGate and OceanGate Expeditions Facebook pages have been taken down.

As of press time, only the OceanGate Foundation's website is still live, though its Facebook page has already been taken down.

OceanGate and its CEO Stockton Rush were scrutinized after the Titan submersible vanished during a dive to the Titanic shipwreck on June 18.

On June 22, the US Coast Guard said that the submersible had likely imploded, killing the five people on board, including Rush.

Representatives for OceanGate did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
