1. Story
2. A two-person titanium-sphere submersible built by Triton Submarines for the Five Deeps Expedition, designed and certified for repeated rather than one-off full-ocean-depth dives - the design change that turned the deepest point on Earth from a stunt destination into a workable research site. It carried out four dives to the Challenger Deep between 28 April and 5 May 2019 and one to the Sirena Deep on 7 May 2019, and returned in June 2020 for the transects that underpin the revised depth estimate. Not a place.

42. Evidence
43. DSV Limiting Factor (Triton 36000/2) completed four dives to the bottom of the Challenger Deep between 28 April and 5 May 2019 and one dive to the Sirena Deep on 7 May 2019, with maximum depths reported in expedition material as about 10,925 m and about 10,928 m. The vehicle was designed for repeated full-ocean-depth dives.
44. Submersible transects conducted in June 2020 yield a revised Challenger Deep floor depth of 10,935 m (+/- 6 m at 95 percent confidence) below mean sea level. Earlier direct measurements include DEEPSEA CHALLENGER at 10,908 +/- 3 m and its landers at 10,918 +/- 3 m (2012).
