The Mariana Trench is the deepest spot in the world's oceans and only a handful of people have been there. But for the first time, travellers are being offered the opportunity to explore it - if they have a spare $100,000 to $200,000 (£83,000 to £166,000). Isle of Man-based Eyos Expeditions is offering three members of the public the chance to tag along on a dive it's organising to a spot in the Western Pacific trench known as Challenger Deep - 35,853ft (10,928 metres/6.79 miles) beneath the surface. It is, the company says, the most exclusive destination on the planet.

Get away from the crowds, a great vacation destination.just be sure you have a round trip ticket

Haha I know that movie. Deep Rising I think it was. That was a logical explanation. The deeper the depths the bigger your mass to adapt to the pressure.

On my vacations I try to stay away from anything that might kill me.

“More people have walked on the moon than descended to the Challenger Deep. “

Twelve people have walked on the moon. The number descending to Challenger Deep is at least five and could be 10 to 12.

Is the submersible big enough to take ten people six feet apart from each other?

[SunkenCiv]

I'll pass.

Spoiler alert! There's WATER down at the bottom!

[max americana]

That’s why I never take vacation during the summer for the past 15 years. I hate crowds. My “summer” vacation happens in September when I have the hotel and pool to myself and all those noisy kids are away.

My kid would complain that it’s boring and ask can we do something that she wants to do.

[faithhopecharity]

Yay! Agreed fully

[wally_bert]

Send some ROVs with a few cameras and enough lights then show the condensed version.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What could possibly go wrong?

[painter]

I would rather dive on the Titanic.

[Clarancebeaks]

Never be a Godzilla denier. He completely destroyed Tokyo back in the 50’s.

[waredbird]

I have a vile of mud taken from the trench bottom.

[Future Snake Eater]

Haven’t seen “Deep Rising.” I was referring to “The Meg” which was a much better book than that bizarre Chinese comic book-ish movie adaptation with Jason Statham.

A.k.a. the location of the Clinton billing records

[SPI-Man]

This must be the cost for a round-trip ticket. One-way would be substantially less.

[Gay State Conservative]

Wouldn’t consider it for a millisecond...even if I had the $$$.
