I don't think the fact that the controller was wireless gets highlighted enough. Bluetooth devices have a hard time working above sea level and you're expecting it to work 3800m below the surface. Delusional.

OK. Explain why they would have more trouble working at that depth.

Now it's your turn, tell us what make you think that it would work as usual.

That's dealing with communication through the water. Presumably the controller wouldn't have water between it and its receiver under ideal conditions.

Show it. "Presumably" won't cut it.

For the records, so far the only one with a source is me.
