Not really. Numbers like that have some safety margin built in.

Given that it's named the "Titan" and described as "the world's only privately owned manned-submersible capable of reaching Titanic depths of 4000 meters" [1] I suspect this was designed with the Titanic in mind.

You would hope that would include a substantial safety margin.

"Titan" - an ominous omen.
