The DSV-Limiting factor is the production of a series of dives in the Challenger Deep

It used to be that more people went to The Surface of The Moon than dived to the deepest point of the oceans. Not more.

Kelly Walsh, The Son of The Great Ocean Explorer Don Walsh , of digging down to the bottom of the Mariana, almost 11km in The Pacific low.

He made The Dive to 60 years after his father created history.

It means that Kelly, the 12th is to visit a person, of the digging, the soil is the same as The Number of the Apollo moon walkers.

The hour-long dive on the Saturday saw him a depth of about 10,925. m.

The Descent was piloted by The Financier and adventurer Victor Vescovo. The Texan is the implementation of a series of dives to the deepest point of the Mariana Trench known as the Challenger Deep .

Mr. Vescovo has purchased a support ship, and a human-rated-submersible pump, which he will use to survey Some of The Most extreme places on the bottom of the sea.

the Last of the passengers who went with him in the Challenger Deep of The First women to make the trip - the former Nasa astronaut Kathy Sullivan, and the British-American mountain climber Vanessa O'brien.

But Kelly Walsh descent particularly noteworthy because his father, Don . On 23 January 1960, the former US Navy Officer , accompanied by Swiss national-Jacques Piccard , made The First manned dive to the bottom of the earth, the deepest ocean trench with The Deep -sea submersible Trieste .

It was an amazing performance, given the precarious nature of The Expedition . The Trench is so deep, it would be possible to the Mount Everest (8,848 m) in there and still have More Than 2km of water over the top. The pressure on The Trench Floor is crushing Some 100 million pascals, almost 16,000 pounds per square inch.

that means Sixty years of modern technology, Victor Vescovo reliable, very safe, repeat the dives, so much so that he was Tonner even now seven times in its drainage, the 12.

The Scottish Marine Biologist Alan Jamieson is one of the 12 that have made, dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench . He went with Mr. Vescovo to a slightly shallower (10,700 m) location in The East of the Challenger Deep , known as the Sirena Deep.

By Kelly Walsh, He Said : "It is a reminder of what did his father. It is also a kind of demonstration, which we still have not lost that ability. People often ask why we seem to be able to go at The Moment , The Moon , which was done in the 60s and 70s. Similarly, with the Deep Ocean , Don Walsh went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench , And Then for several decades that we no longer go. But now we can show we can do it again, and we do it loads. "

Dr. Jamieson is in The Process of connecting with the Lord Vescovo expedition. There is a plan to take the DSV Limiting factor in soon to the Philippine Trench , of the trenches in relation to the depth, with 10,500 m in the third only to the Mariana Islands and Tonga.

But it is a very important place in the history of ocean exploration, said Dr. Jon Copley of the University of Southampton.

It is where the Danish Galathea expedition in 1951 was able, and animals by More Than 10 km down. It was The First evidence that the higher animals could live deeper than 10,000 m, he told Bbc News .

Victor Vescovo expedition can be followed. Dr. Copley keeps a history of the sea to explore.

The 12 who have dived to the bottom of the Mariana Trench Victor Vescovo was, diving into the deepest parts of oceans all over The World
