The Oscar winner has completed 33 dives in deep-sea vessels to view the wreck of the liner.

Early on he predicted Titan's implosion, calling the search a "prolonged nightmarish charade".

Cameron, 68, said the sub's owners, OceanGate, "didn't get certified because they knew they wouldn't pass".

He said: "I was very suspect of the technology that they were using I wouldn't have gotten in that sub." Mr Cameron said: "I knew that sub was sitting exactly underneath its last known depth and position.
