"I knew what I was doing was very risky," said Renata Rojas during an emotional session. But, she said, "I never at any point felt unsafe."

During Thursday's hearing, the inquiry heard from another witness that Titan had malfunctioned days before its final dive - when it imploded while journeying to the Titanic shipwreck.

The hearings continue into next week.
