Oh sure. I'm not arguing this is a good idea or not a way to show off your money, just that it's kinda a weird assertion that visiting a place where people died and weren't properly buried at some point in the past is uniquely distasteful. It's not as if they're going to look at the dead bodies, and as someone else points out, there's almost no chance there's intact remains left at that depth after all this time. There's plenty of less-deep shipwrecks all over the Caribbean or other coastal areas where people probably died that are normal enough to scuba dive into and I'm not sure people think that that's distasteful. The "you spent how much on this" part is something I'm absolutely fine with people taking issue with, but it doesn't seem that much more gauche than flying to space or just flying your private jet around.
