Where specifically did James Cameron dive down to in 2012?
"the New Britain Trench in a five-mile-deep solo dive. On March 26, 2012, Cameron reached the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench. He spent more than three hours exploring the ocean floor before returning to the surface. Cameron is the first person to accomplish the trip solo. He was preceded by unmanned dives in 1995 and 2009 and by Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh, who were the first men to reach the bottom of the Mariana Trench aboard the Bathyscaphe Trieste in 1960. Cameron has made a three-dimensional film of his dive. During his dive to the"

On 26 March 2012 (local time), Canadian film director James Cameron made a solo manned descent in the DSV ""Deepsea Challenger"" to the bottom of the Challenger Deep. At approximately 05:15 ChST on 26 March (19:15 UTC on 25 March), the descent began. At 07:52 ChST (21:52 UTC), ""Deepsea Challenger"" arrived at the bottom.

Not all systems functioned as planned on the record-breaking dive: bait-carrying landers were not dropped in advance of the dive because the sonar needed to find them on the ocean floor was not working, and hydraulic system problems hampered the use of sampling equipment. Nevertheless, after roughly three hours on the seafloor and a successful ascent, further exploration of the Challenger Deep with the unique sub was planned for later in the Spring of 2012. On 26 March 2012, Cameron reached the bottom of the Challenger Deep,"
"This was followed by the unmanned ROVs ""Kaikō"" in 1995 and ""Nereus"" in 2009. In March 2012 a manned solo descent was made by film director James Cameron in the deep-submergence vehicle ""Deepsea Challenger"". Over many years, the search for the point of maximum depth has involved many different vessels. In 2014, a study was conducted regarding the determination of the depth and location of the Challenger Deep based on data collected previous to and during the 2010 sonar mapping of the Mariana Trench with a Kongsberg Maritime EM 122 multibeam echosounder system aboard USNS ""Sumner"".

There has been an undeclared race on to return to the Challenger Deep between four teams, Cameron's, Virgin Oceanic's, Google-Schmidt/DOER's, and Triton Submarines'.

There, he found a wide plain of loose sediment, anemones, jellyfish and varying habitats where the plain met the walls of the canyon.

Later that week at the All Things Digital Conference, he attracted some notoriety when he stated, ""Over the last few weeks I've watched ... and been thinking, 'Those morons don't know what they're doing'."" Reportedly, Cameron had offered BP help to plug the oil well, but it declined. The oil spill was eventually stopped using techniques similar to those Cameron recommended.

On 28 February 2012, during a seven-hour dive, Cameron spent six hours in the submersible at a depth of . Power system fluctuations and unforeseen currents presented unexpected challenges.
