Cool Pic of Cameron's sub

[n2doc]

ames Cameron's deep-diving team has been keeping busy.

Just days after the filmmaker plunged more than 35,756 feet (10,890 meters) into the Pacific Ocean to the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on Earth, his team piloted Cameron's innovative submersible to yet another deep-sea spot.

This time, members of the expedition took Cameron's lime-green Deepsea Challenger to a depth of 3,600 feet (1,100 meters) off the coast of the tiny island of Ulithi, part of Micronesia.

The spot isn't far from place where Cameron made his historic dive on March 26, although it is only about a tenth as deep.

3. I loved his description of how much smaller his "bubble" inside it

got when he was at depth. I'm really anticipating the footage he shot of what's living down there.
