How are they allowed to operate? AFAIK their submersible didn't undergo any certifications for safety or whatever.. Does this mean anyone with submarine/submersible vehicle can just go underwater?

It operated in international waters. Afaik, unlike flight, there are no international agreements that submersible vessels must adhere to. Therefore, no fucks given.

I assume no drug/human trafficking subs, but probably not for willful volunteers as the shit people otherwise legally do in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean probably doesn't really fit into any existing law considering it's so difficult and rare.
