The lead investigation into the implosion that killed all five men on board the Titan submersible will be carried out by the US Coast Guard.

A scaled-back search is continuing - with remotely operated vehicles scanning the sea bed of the Altantic Ocean for evidence.

The US National Transportation Safety Board will assist in the investigation, while Canadian investigators are examining Titan's Canada-flagged support ship, the Polar Prince.

The country's Transportation Safety Board says it'll head to Newfoundland to gather evidence.

Sky news report, the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) confirmed two vessels were en route to St John's harbour on Friday evening with one remaining on site.

The bill for the five-day search for Titan will easily stretch into millions of dollars, experts say.

Laura Round was a friend of Shahzada and Suleman Dawood who were on board - she says Shahzada was motivated by curiosity:

"His love for science and understanding the world better and adventure clearly brought him to places like Antarctica, Greenland and Iceland. Places most people don't go to."
