Retired Navy Commander Fills His Bucket List
2021-12-17
[DM] An interesting guy. He served, then created success in private life and now does actual science.
Ex-US navy commander Victor Vescovo has become the first person to reach the bottom of all four of the world's deepest ocean trenches.

Vescovo reached the bottom of the Kermadec Trench in the South Pacific Ocean at the weekend in the submersible DSV Limiting Factor — a two-person submersible built by Florida-based company Triton Submarines.
