His dive went 52 feet (16 metres) lower than the previous deepest descent in the trench in 1960. It was the third time humans have dived to the deepest point in the ocean, known as Challenger Deep. Canadian movie maker James Cameron was the last to visit in 2012 in his submarine, reaching a depth of 35,787 feet (10,908 metres).
