On March 5, 2021, Action Aviation Hamish Harding and famed explorer Victor Vescovo dived to the lowest depth of the Mariana Trench off Micronesia in the Pacific Ocean, in a two-person submersible, where they attempted to break a Guinness World Record for the greatest distance traveled at Full Ocean Depth. The dive’s scientific objectives were to search areas of the Challenger Deep never before visited for new species and also for signs of human pollution affecting even this most remote area of planet Earth.
