Challenger Deep, which is nearly 7 miles (11 kilometers) deep.

I was watching on the history channel "How the Earth was made" and saw mention of this section of trench.

Read up on it from the links above. rather cool.

Now imagine if a human could dive that deep though they can't what it would be like. What life you may find there in those dark depths.
Imagine a Diver watch built to withstand such a depth. nearly 36,000 feet or 11,000 meters. WOW!! :shock:
