On the other hand, I do see a need for regulating some the more outlandish "bucket list" nonsense as practiced by the billionaire class.

Many years ago I spent time in Iceland during the winter. During that time I was told it was prohibited to wander into certain portions of the interior because of the risk and the cost of any rescue mission that would have to be mounted in the event of an emergency. Winter there is of course taken very seriously. So, maybe we should impose a ban on undersea tourism of this sort?

Aside from everything else, the Titanic wreckage is a sort of mass grave, and excursions like this do seem to me to be a mite ghoulish.
