If you have any addons that manipulate the travel interfaces, like World Flight Map, you may have trouble telling Tattersail to take you to the right place. Disable them first.

I have the quest, At the Bottom of the Sea but can't get Admiral Tattersail to take me to the middle of the ocean. There isn't a way to see if I am in the middle of the quest chain either. How do I continue the Ready for War chain?

Where this quest fits
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Deep Dive
We need you to retrieve Marshal M. Valentine's body at the ocean floor below. I should warn you: this part of the ocean is going to be very deep, and very dark, and very cold. Speak with Hobart at the starboard side of the ship. He's brought all the machinery you'll need to get to the ocean floor.
