Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard were the first individuals to reach the deepest point in the Earth's oceans, the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, on January 23, 1960. They accomplished this historic feat aboard the bathyscaphe Trieste, which descended to a depth of approximately 36,000 feet (about 10,900 meters). Their journey provided invaluable insights into deep-sea environments and laid the groundwork for future oceanographic exploration.
Jacques Piccard died on November 1, 2008 at the age of 86.
Jacques Piccard did not discover the sea; rather, he was a pioneering oceanographer and explorer known for his deep-sea explorations. In 1960, he co-piloted the bathyscaphe Trieste to a record depth of nearly 36,000 feet in the Mariana Trench, revealing the mysteries of the deep ocean. His work helped advance our understanding of marine biology, geology, and the conditions of extreme environments. Piccard's explorations highlighted the importance of ocean conservation and the need for further research into the ocean's depths.

he was important because him and don walsh made it down to the mariana trench no human had been before.
The first person to reach the bottom of the Mariana Trench was Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard in 1960 aboard the Bathyscaphe Trieste. They descended to a depth of about 10,916 meters (35,814 feet) in the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the trench.
because they were the first men to go down to the bottom of the Marianna's trench and they are still the only men who have ever been down that deep.
In January 1960, Jacques Piccard and Lt. Don Walsh of the US Navy made the descent in the submarine Trieste to the floor of the Mariana trough
The deepest a human has gone underwater is about 35,797 feet (10,916 meters) in the Mariana Trench. This record was set by Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh in 1960.
The deepest spot in the ocean is the Marianna Trench with a depth of 35,760 ft (about 7 miles) it was last visited by Jacques Piccard and Lt. Don Walsh in the submarine "Trieste" in January of 1960.
