<p>Relatives of the five passengers who died after the Titan submersible imploded when venturing deep underwater to reach the wreckage of Titanic have paid tributes to their loved ones.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After days of search and rescue operations, the US Coast Guard on Friday informed that the submersible had imploded and all five aboard died.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Paul-Henri Nargeolet</strong></h2>

<p>Relatives of renowned French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet said he will be remembered as "one of the greatest deep-sea explorers in modern history".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"When you think of the Titanic and all we know about the ship today, you will think of Paul-Henri Nargeolet and his legendary work," the family said in a statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"But what we will remember him most for is his big heart, his incredible sense of humour and how much he loved his family. We will miss him today and every day for the rest of our lives."</p>

<p>77-year-old Nargeolet, more popularly known as "Mr Titanic" had previously served in the French Navy for over 25 years.</p>

<p>He had the experience of diving all over the world and openly spoke about the perils of his adventures, that took him to inaccessible waters of the world's oceans.</p>

<p>As a crew member, Nargeolet had undertaken more than 30 dives to explore the ruins of the Titanic before the tragedy struck.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Shahzada and Suleman Dawood</strong></h2>

<p>After Nargeolet's family, the Dawood family, which lost its patriarch Shahzada Dawood and his teenage son Suleman, also released a statement.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Our thoughts are with the victims of this tragedy, one which has been followed around the world. As with any tragedy of this magnitude, it brings out the best and worst in people," the family said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The family remains overwhelmed with the love and support that it has received and is grateful to those who showcased the best in humanity," it added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Some go out of their way to contribute and support, others use these moments for personal gains. How one behaves in such circumstances reveals more about their own character than anything else."</p>

<p>Shahzada was the vice chairman of Engro Corporation - a company that produces fertilisers, food, and energy. His son Suleman was a university student and held British citizenship.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Hamish Harding</strong></h2>

<p>British billionaire explorer Hamish Harding's family in the tribute post said he was ''a dedicated father" who "lived his life for his family, his business and for the next adventure".&nbsp;</p>

<p>58-year-old Harding held three Guinness World records and was the founder of Action Group and chairman of Action Aviation, an international aircraft brokerage company with headquarters in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Today we are united in grief with the other families who have also lost their loved ones.

To his team in Action Aviation, he was a guide, an inspiration, support, and a living legend," read the family's statement, released via Harding's company Action Aviation.&nbsp;</p>

Tributes pour in for men killed in ‘catastrophic implosion’ of Titan submersible

<p>On Wednesday, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is releasing rare and never-before-seen footage of the 1986 dive through the wreckage of the Titanic, reported the Associated Press. The footage, which lasts over 80 minutes, can be found on WHOI’s YouTube channel and showcases some of the remarkable achievements of the dive led by Robert Ballard. Using a towed underwater camera, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution team from Massachusetts, in collaboration with the French oceanographic exploration organization Institut français de recherche pour l’exploitation de la mer, located the ship's final resting place at a depth of 12,400 feet (3,780 meters) of water on September 1, 1985.</p>

<p>The release of the footage coincides with the 25th-anniversary release on February 10 of a remastered version of the Academy Award-winning movie <em>Titanic </em>directed by James Cameron. In a statement, James Cameron, who is also an explorer expressed that the human stories embodied in the great ship continue to resonate more than a century after its loss, and by releasing this footage, WHOI is helping to tell an important part of a story that spans generations and circles the globe.</p>

<p>“More than a century after the loss of Titanic, the human stories embodied in the great ship continue to resonate. Like many, I was transfixed when Alvin and Jason Jr. ventured down to and inside the wreck. By releasing this footage, WHOI is helping tell an important part of a story that spans generations and circles the globe," he said.</p>

<p>Originally released in 1997, the film dramatised the 1912 sinking of the HMS Titanic. The passenger liner, the largest afloat ship at the time and said to be unsinkable, collided with an iceberg in North Atlantic Ocean during its maiden voyage from UK's Southampton to New York, and sank. Somewhere between 1400 to 1600 people lost their lives. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet played the lead roles, while Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Gloria Stuart, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Victor Garber, and Bill Paxton were in the supporting cast.&nbsp;</p>
