Quick Summary

On March 26, 2012, Canadian filmmaker James Cameron piloted the submersible to a depth of 35,756 feet (10,898 meters) in the Mariana Trench, which established a new world record depth for a solo descent.

The documentary Deepsea Challenge 3D chronicles filmmaker James Cameron's 2012 solo dive to the Challenger Deep, the deepest known point in Earth's oceans. Located in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean, the Challenger Deep plunges to approximately 10,935 meters (35,876 feet) below sea level. Cameron's journey in the submersible Deepsea Challenger was the first solo descent to this extreme depth and the first human visit since 1960. The film documents the construction of the submersible and the challenges of exploring this remote and high-pressure environment.123
