For me, "owner accuses rescuers he doesn't like of being pedophiles" (in 2018) was what did it.

If you were the CEO of a small / medium buiness and you made comments / accusations such as this, they would be sued out of existance, and if you appeared before a court made a statement without evidence, you not only would lose, and have to pay compensation / costs but could as you make statements under oath face up to 10 years for perjury.
Interesting about the mini sub, but this diver is an expert at cavee rescue, he knows what does / does not work as do others like him, the last thing most emergency services need at a time of crisis is a big mouth, arm chair expert getting in the way.
