Record Breaking Submarine Dive Uncovers Strange 76ers Link
The Five Deeps Expedition is the first to attempt to reach the deepest point in each of the Earth’s five oceans:
1) Puerto Rico Trench in the Atlantic
2) South Sandwich Trench in the Southern Ocean
3) Java Trench in the Indian Ocean
4) Challenger Deep in the Pacific
5) Molloy Deep in the Arctic
While doing this the team would traverse 40,000 nautical miles over the span of 11 months & descend at least 236,220 feet of water…
And this week they made waves with a huge accomplishment:
From the Dallas Morning News:
Dallas businessman Victor Vescovo became the deepest diving human in history when his Five Deeps Expedition reached the bottom of the Pacific Ocean’s Challenger Deep on April 28, the expedition disclosed Monday.
Vescovo, who has been on a years-long journey to reach the deepest points in each of the planet’s five oceans, spent more than four hours in the basin of the Mariana Trench, the deepest known point in the ocean.
“We have indeed built and perfected a submersible that can easily and reliably take two people to the bottom of the any point on Earth, even the Challenger Deep,” Vescovo told The Dallas Morning News. “This will allow for an unprecedented level of access for scientists and others to explore the ocean, increase our understanding of it, and hopefully make life better and richer in the future.”
The last time a human visited the Challenger Deep was Canadian filmmaker James Cameron, who reached a depth of 35,756 feet in his submersible in 2012. The 53-year-old Vescovo descended to 35,853 feet, according to the expedition.
What exactly did Vescovo & his team find allllll the way down at rock bottom in the deepest, darkest depths of 35,756 feet where no light shines & the pressure is soul-crushing?
Photos from the expedition appear to show a new species of jellyfish, a few plastic bags, and these strange floating messages like “shit on my corpse” that appear to be related to last night’s 76ers loss??
