Deepsea Challenger (DCV 1) is a 7.3-metre (24 ft) deep-diving submersible designed to reach the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest-known point on Earth.On 26 March 2012, Canadian film director James Cameron piloted the craft to accomplish this goal in the second crewed dive reaching the Challenger Deep.
On 7 May 2019, Vescovo and Jamieson, in Limiting Factor, made the first human-occupied deep submersible dive to the bottom of the Sirena Deep, the third deepest point in the ocean, about 128 mi (206 km) northeast of Challenger Deep. They spent 176 minutes at the bottom, and among the samples they retrieved was a piece of mantle rock from the ...
Historical deep-submergence vehicles. A deep-submergence vehicle (DSV) is a deep-diving crewed submersible that is self-propelled. [citation needed] Several navies operate vehicles that can be accurately described as DSVs. DSVs are commonly divided into two types: research DSVs, which are used for exploration and surveying, and DSRVs (deep ...
In 1960, Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard were the first two humans to reach Challenger Deep, completing that dive as a team. [4] 52 years later, James Cameron became the first person to solo dive that point. Piccard, Walsh and Cameron remained the only people to reach the Challenger Deep until 2019, when regular dives in DSV Limiting Factor began.
Brooks said while Rush was aware of concerns following a loud bang heard while surfacing in Dive 80, he decided to resume manned dives. There was an investigation to try to determine the cause of ...

Trieste is a Swiss-designed, Italian-built deep-diving research bathyscaphe. In 1960, it became the first crewed vessel to reach the bottom of Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in Earth's seabed. [2] The mission was the final goal for Project Nekton, a series of dives conducted by the United States Navy in the Pacific ...
Titan began its dive at 09:17 local time and support staff aboard the mother ship asked about the submersible's depth and weight, as well as whether it could still see the ship on its onboard display.
