<p>The US Coast Guard captain Jamie Frederick on Tuesday said that "about 40 hours of breathable air" is left in the deep-diving tourist submersible which went missing with five people on board near the wreck of the Titanic.</p>

<p>The rescue efforts of air and ship near the site in the North Atlantic "have not yielded any results," Frederick further said while speaking to reporters in Boston.</p>

<h2><strong>Search operation expanded</strong></h2>

<p>The US Coast Guard said that the air-and-sea search for the submersible is now investigating underwater as well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Head of the search operation Rear Admiral John Mauger, speaking to the ABC News programme 'Good Morning America', said that the surface ships and planes searching for the small sub are now scouring an area of around 5,000 square miles (13,000 square km).</p>

<p>"As we continue on with the search, we are expanding our capabilities...So we have a commercial vessel that is on the scene now that has remote-operated vehicles that will give us the ability to search under the water as well," Mauger stated.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Over the last three or four hours, we have flown multiple aircraft over the site looking for any signs of the surfacing of the submersible," he added.</p>

<p>Mauger said that Canada's P-3 plane has dropped sonar buoys in the region of the wreckage in the North Atlantic so that they can listen to any sound which hints at the presence of the missing submersible.</p>

<p>"Now the search is going underwater as well," he stated.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 21-foot (6.5-metre) Titan craft lost all its communication during a descent Sunday to the Titanic, which remains at a depth of more than two miles below the North Atlantic's surface.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>France's robot-equipped ship joins search operation</strong></h2>

<p>The oceanographic institute of France is sending its vessel Atalante, which is equipped with a deep-sea underwater robot, to join the search operation in the North Atlantic and help find the submersible, the maritime ministry stated on Tuesday.</p>

<p>The Atalante, which has been on a mission for the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER) currently, should reach the Atlantic on Wednesday around 1800 GMT, as experts dispatched from the French port of Toulon urgently to operate the robot for its dive, the ministry stated.&nbsp;</p>

Only 'about 40 hours' of oxygen left in missing Titanic tourist submersible: US Coast Guard

<p>The tourist submersible, which went missing while carrying five people to the sunken wreck of Titanic, had disappeared earlier as well, revealed a video shot by CBS last summer. In the video, the vessel appeared to have lost communication with its mothership for almost two and a half hours.</p>

<p>In the TV segment, the submersible, its mother ship, and its crew were featured and details of the vessel named "Titan" were reported. Some "off-the-shelf" components were fitted into the inside of the tourist submersible and it has been designed to be piloted using a video-game controller.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Submersible lost for more than two hours</strong></h2>

<p>Sharing his experience, as a search operation was launched by the United States and Canadian Coast Guards for a missing OceanGate Expeditions vessel, CBS Sunday Morning reporter David Pogue said that he went on a $250,000-a-person trip last year.&nbsp;However, communications issues and bad weather marred his voyage on the cramped submarine.&nbsp;</p>
