Past the midnight zone where dark waters turn black
DESTINATION
Challenger Deep, deepest point in the world’s ocean (10,925m), approx. 200nms SW of Guam (USA).
VESSEL
DSV Limiting Factor is the submersible. Pilot plus one person.
This extreme submersible has been designed and built to explore the ‘hadal zone’; those parts of the ocean that lie below 6000m. It is the only craft that has ever been certified to full ocean depth (11,000m) and to make repeated dives to these depths.
The submersible was the focal point for the recent ‘Five Deeps Expedition’ which conducted a 10-month circumnavigation of the globe to dive to the deepest point of each of the world's five oceans.
Now, the award-winning and record setting team will be returning to their deepest challenge to conduct a series of record setting dives.
ACCOMMODATION
‘DSSV Pressure Drop’ - a former US Navy spy ship converted into a private oceanographic vessel, the 68m vessel has accommodation for 46.
Meals are prepared by international chefs to be wholesome and nutritious. Accommodation in private cabin with twin beds. Comfortable but not pretentious.
PARTICIPATION

Your role is as Mission Specialist working alongside ocean mappers, scientists, vessel crew, sub technicians and the expedition team as full participants.
THE ONLY LIGHT IS FROM BIOLUMINESCENCE, ELECTRIC JELLIES, CAMOUFLAGED SHRIMP AND TOOTHY PREDATORS
