Cameron said Thursday, March 8, 2012, he plans to take a submersible craft down 7 miles to the world's deepest point in the Mariana Trench, in the Pacific Ocean 200 miles southwest of Guam. The journey later this month reportedly would be the deepest solo dive ever, breaking Cameron's own record set this week, when he descended 5 miles off the coast of Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific.

Now the "Avatar" and "Titanic" filmmaker aims to go nearly three times as deep with his latest ocean dive.
