A private equity investor from Dallas, Texas and his team of explorers have completed a series of record-breaking dives to Challenger Deep in the Marinas Trench, commonly known as the deepest place on earth.

How's the fishing down there?
They did take a picture of a McDonald’s cup or something like it!
OMG! The horrors! (Says AOC.)
I'm curious about that too. How can you go down there without some giant fish hooks baited for a big catch? Of course, if something is down there you might become the catch.
Were Hillary’s emails down there?
The will be a documentary to keep an eye out for later this year. Can’t wait to see what they saw down there.
I understand there are a few small, odd fish down there, but little else. Some have electroluminescent organs to provide light in that total darkness.
Not much in the way of fishing ... some odd shrimp-like critters, though.
Exactly! Really fascinating, one of the last unexplored places on earth.
Can you imagine going down there alone????? He has guts!!
But how cool to be the first see what’s that far down there with your own eyes.
I just saw the earlier thread about them finding some trash and thought, “Come on! There had to be more interesting things and THAT’S what you report?”
I hope they don’t make that the main issue in the documentary. If they go that route, channel change.
Did they penetrate the thermocline that had the Megalodon imprisoned?
(Jaws on steroids)
That’s what Godzilla wants you to think.
Suggested Title Correction: Deepest (ahem) unclassified dive.
Years ago on the Discovery channel (or similar) there was a show about how they use the old sub tracking microphone systems around the world to track whales and such.
At the end of the show they had a cool compilation of the sounds and the marine biologist (no - not the Seinfeld guy) explaining it.
” ***** “ That is a pair of blue whales off the coast of California.
” xxxxx “ That is a pod of orcas off Vancouver Island.
Some of the sounds are pretty odd sounding.
The last one he put up was REALLY weird sounding. Sounded part electronic, part biological. Like some cheesy monster from Star Trek. But it sent a shiver up my spine.
“That is deep in the _____ trench off the coast of India.
.

“We have no idea what that is.”
I’ve tried to find it on youtube, but can’t.
Did he find Hillary’s emails down there?
I Hope it won't be ruined by injecting politics like National Geographic did with Hostile Planet.
It’s a possibility since they’ve already brought up the fact that a little trash was seen down there.
I’ll give ‘em a chance but the TV remote will be at hand, just in case.
He found Broward county ballots
I wonder how many people on here know something about or have been on NR-1 (not in the same class as these others), Sea Cliff, and Turtle. I’d guess more than in most places you might visit online.
Those little suns have great capabilities, and some unique tools, , but not 33,000 foot abilities.
