The Five Deeps Expedition is the first to attempt to reach the deepest point in each of the Earth’s five oceans: the Puerto Rico Trench in the Atlantic, South Sandwich Trench in the Southern Ocean, Java Trench in the Indian Ocean, Challenger Deep in the Pacific and Molloy Deep in the Arctic.
The expedition will traverse 40,000 nautical miles / 74,000 km in 11 months.
By the end of the expedition the sub will have descended through at least 72,000 m / 236,220 ft of water.
Up to 50 scientific lander deployments will be undertaken alongside the submersible dives.
No human has ever been to the bottom of the Java, Puerto Rico* or South Sandwich trenches.
No one has ever been to the bottom of Molloy Deep.
No manned submersible has ever been to Challenger Deep more than once.
No person has ever been to the summit of Mount Everest and also been to the bottom of the ocean at Challenger Deep, which could occur on this expedition.

That graphic says US subs go down 800-900 feet. 
Um, yeah, that's the officially-released number.

It will probably be eaten by something

How wide are these things? Like how narrow and tight are the crevices? (giggity)

That's just terrifying

It says the bottom of the challenger Deep is about a mile wide.

This is awesome on so many levels. Deep sea legit scares me, more than space. Pressure is a bitch. Having said that, I figured the pressure vessel tech should be much better by today’s standards and wondered when we would finally see something dive deeper and better. I wonder if it uses the old gasoline method for buyouncy and as an incompressible liquid?

They better not poke thru that bottom layer and release the Megalodon.

The Mariana looks very narrow. I'd be afraid of the craft getting stuck.
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.

So do we find Megaladon or wake up the dark lord Cthulhu first?

Didn’t realize submarines operate so close to the surface
