This is totally awesome. The oceans and the incredible depths are awe striking. The Oceans are deeper than the mountains are high. This is a step towards developing technology that will allow us to travel to such depths as deep as ocean trenches, God permitting. The average sea floors are between 12 and 14 thousand feet deep. Atlantic Ocean trenches are between 25 and 28 thousand feet deep, and the pacific ocean trenches max out between 30 and 36 thousand feet deep. Simply put, we should approach these tasks with awe and humility for them to succeed.

Very Cool

My hat is off to the Navy and the team they put together to do this. Diver Jackson gave all the credit to the people that helped him do it. That is a real good man.

I would love to see the the lights from all the glowing things down there.

What a credit to the Navy.

What a great man this guy is, brave and humble.
Risking his life to test equipment, so that others may live, incredible...

Technology and intestinal fortitude...

I get the willys thinking about it..."hello mr weird looking fishy"

..My hats of to those R&D Guys they ROCK....

I was a Navy Diver 212ft deepest I ever dove ,what a treat it would be to have gone to such depth,Leave it to the Navy team to set such an awe inspiring record

Now maybe scientist can do some research on the aquatic life down there. Maybe megalodon still exist? Or maybe not.

i'd be thinking... "Did I just wet myself, or is there a leak"?

I sure hope Megaladon doesn't exist any more. You ever see how big that shark supposedly was ? It supposedly weighed 77 tons and was 60 Ft Long .

Congrats to the Navy Divers and all the folks responsible for the record dive .

Zowie! What a dive!
