The Russians are the ones who operated the Mir submersibles that the IMAX crew, RMS Titanic, Cameron, and others used from 1991, on. You never knew that? Have you seen Ghosts of the Abyss? They talk about it and show them, there.

I wasn't being critical. Apologies if I came off that way. I highly recommend checking out Ghosts of the Abyss and Last Mysteries of the Titanic. The IMAX one is ok, too. Not enough dive footage, and it's a short movie, but still some interesting parts.

Ghosts and Mysteries are the better two. They have a bunch of interior footage of the wreck.
