Filmmaker James Cameron has become the first human to dive alone to the deepest part of the ocean - the 6.8-mile-deep Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean.
The Abyss and Titanic filmmaker reached a depth of 35,756 feet (10,898 metres) in a specially designed 12-tonne submarine near Papua New Guinea, his mission partner, National Geographic, said.

Can't wait to share what I'm seeing w/ you.".....Read more here: James Cameron, Film Director, Dives Alone To Bottom Of The Mariana Trench In Pacific Ocean
