DEEPSEA CHALLENGER PHOTOS….!!!!!!
Launched from the Mermaid Sapphire, the sub relies on 180 different systems, from battery packs to sonar.
DEEPSEA CHALLENGER, to take him down to the Mariana Trench.
After two months of testing DEEPSEA CHALLENGER on shallower dives, Cameron was poised above the deepest place on Earth. No one had imagined diving in seas this rough. A key safety system had failed. But it was now, or never.

Divers wrangle a 3-D camera while filming a test in the New Britain Trench off Papua New Guinea. The sub bristles with lights, cameras, and scientific equipment.
DEEPSEA CHALLENGER bobs in the water, with Cameron inside, following the successful Mariana Trench dive on March 26, 2012. A diver needed split-second timing to recover the sub: Riding atop the submersible, he had to grab a swinging crane hook, then attach it to the sub’s lifting point.
A panel of LED lights illuminates the bottom during a test dive off the Ulithi Atoll. Sediment samples later collected in the Mariana Trench revealed previously unknown microorganisms.
Dipping Under Unspoiled Rivers Pictures:
“There are fish that can survive when this water dries out completely, then when the water comes back they appear again. No one knows how they do this,” said Roggo.
“I discovered an underwater rain forest, it was amazing how beautiful it was,” said Roggo. The area is relatively well protected and is a popular for “eco” and adventure tourists, he pointed out.
Ozernaya River, Kamchatka, Russia.
Verzasca River, Switzerland.
“Over millions of years, the Verzasca has carved its way through the rock, leaving it smooth and polished,” said Roggo. “The water is crystal clear, up to 10 meters [33 feet] deep, and very cold, even in the summer.”
Te Waikoropupu Springs, New Zealand.
Te Waikoropupu Springs are the largest freshwater springs in New Zealand and the largest cold-water springs in the Southern Hemisphere.
Rio Negro Igapo, Amazon, Brazil.
“The red color and acidity of the water is due to the acidic organic humic substances, such as tannins, that dissolve into the water,”.
River Itchen, Hampshire, England.
River Itchen in Hampshire, England, is one of a series of streams in the southern part of the country that are famous for fly-fishing. Host to rich plant and insect life, especially mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies, they are prime habitat for trout and grayling.
Taman Negara Gunung Mulu, Sarawak, Malaysia.

Abismo Anhumas, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.
Northern Rockies, Canada.
Umeälven Tributary, Swedish Lapland.
While fly-fishing in Umeälven tributary in Swedish Lapland, Roggo noticed an unusually dense collection of Fresh water mussels. The next day, he returned with his camera and underwater housing.
Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.
Much of the water in the Pantanal is murky (and home to Piranhas), but there are some crystal clear tributaries that flow from the surrounding limestone mountains into the floodplain.
