The Mariana Trench, located in the western Pacific Ocean, is the deepest part of the world's oceans. It reaches a maximum known depth of about 36,070 feet (10,994 meters) at a point known as Challenger Deep. The trench is named after the nearby Mariana Islands. The world record for the deepest manned dive into the Mariana Trench was set by Victor Vescovo on April 28, 2019. Vescovo descended to a depth of 35,853 feet (10,927 meters) in his submersible, DSV Limiting Factor, surpassing previous records and furthering our understanding of the trench's extreme conditions and unique marine life.
