I was shocked to learn the main part of the vessel was made of composite fiber. Apparently the "nose cone" is titanium (I think).

I'm guessing some sort of fatigue stress fracture after a few round trips to those depths will take their toll sooner or later. Shame there was no requirement for testing before accepting money for the tours.
