An American explorer has set a new deep diving record in the Mariana Trench, and in the process uncovered just how far human waste can travel.

Victor Vescovo has successfully completed a solo dive in the Pacific Ocean to Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, commonly known as the deepest point on planet Earth.Vescovo went nearly seven miles deep or 35,853 feet, that’s 52 feet more than any person has ever gone. He also became the first human to make multiple solo dives to Challenger Deep.“It’s just an unfortunate consequence of multiple billions people on earth and all we consume,” he said.

The 'Five Deeps' expedition has already successfully reached the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. Vescovo is planning to complete his historic expedition in late August when he dives the Molloy Deep in the Arctic Ocean. First, Vescovo will dive to the second deepest trench in the Pacific, the Tonga Trench, he says there is a slim chance it could actually be deeper than the Mariana Trench.

Diving isn’t Vescovo’s only passion-- he’s also a climber. Once he finishes his last dive in August, he will be the only person to ever summit the highest mountain on each continent and go to the lowest point of each ocean. He will have been to the"roof of the world," Mt. Everest, and its’ floor, the Mariana Trench.

You can dive deeper then we have ever dove and you are worried about human waste? What a waste of a mission!

Yikes people we really need to stop wasting so much and clean up our oceans. Now please tell me you found some new ocean life down there. Any new whales, dolphins, sharks or anything we don't know about yet?

there's trash on the summit of everest and of the hundred thousand or so objects orbiting earth most are derelict or trash.
