Deepest Dive - The Story of the Trieste





Over fifty years ago, two men attempted to reach the deepest part of the ocean, 10,911 metres (35,797 ft) down in the South Pacific. This is the tale of the Trieste vessel and their feat that has never been equalled.

It was a seven-mile voyage to the deepest part of the ocean, and there were only two men in the world right for the job.


Today on Far Future Horizons we join Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard and U.S. Navy LT. Don Walsh in this exciting documentary film as they pilot the bathyscaphe Trieste into the abyss of the Pacific's Mariana Trench.
