Cameron to dive to ocean’s deepest point

A calm James Cameron recently broke his own record with the world’s deepest solo submarine dive, plunging 5.1 miles (8.2km) in the Pacific Ocean near Papua New Guinea.

But that’s nothing. In the coming weeks he says he plans to descend to the deepest place on Earth.

Cameron is aiming to plunge to the bottom of Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench of the Pacific Ocean, 200 miles southwest of Guam. It’s 6.8 miles (11km) deep.
