Pilot and observer. Limiting Factor, known as Bakunawa since its sale in 2022, is a crewed deep-submergence vehicle (DSV) manufactured by Triton Submarines and owned and operated since 2022 by Gabe Newell ’s Inkfish ocean-exploration research organization. [3] It currently holds the records for the deepest crewed dives in all five oceans.
a DSV made completely of aluminum by the Reynolds Metals Aluminum Company, for the US Navy, once held the submarine deep diving record. It is no longer operational. Deepsea Challenger Deepsea Challenger a DSV made by the Acheron Project Pty Ltd, has reached Challenger Deep, the world's deepest seabed. Limiting Factor
The DSV Limiting Factor became the first commercially certified full-ocean-depth crewed submersible, a significant milestone for the company. The Limiting Factor was first operated by Victor Vescovo, and, as of 2019, holds the record for deepest crewed descent (to the revised depth of 10,925 m (35,843 ft) ±4 m (13 ft), in the Challenger Deep).
In December 2018, he became the first person to reach the deepest point of the Atlantic Ocean, piloting DSV Limiting Factor, a reported US$50 million submarine system (Triton 36000/2) – including its support ship the DSSV Pressure Drop and its three ultra-deep-sea robotic landers – 8,376 m (27,480 ft) below the ocean surface to the base of ...
Triton Submarines, a Florida-based company that designs and manufactures private submarines, whose vehicle, Triton 36000/3, would carry a crew of three to the seabed in 120 minutes. Triton launched DSV Limiting Factor to the bottom of the Marianas trench in August 2019. It has made more than 20 successful crewed dives to Challenger Deep.

Topography Sonar mapping of the Challenger Deep by the DSSV Pressure Drop employing a Kongsberg SIMRAD EM124 multibeam echosounder system (26 April – 4 May 2019). The Challenger Deep is a relatively small slot-shaped depression in the bottom of a considerably larger crescent-shaped oceanic trench, which itself is an unusually deep feature in the ocean floor.
DSV-4 (formerly known as Sea Cliff) is a 25-ton, crewed deep-ocean research submersible owned by the United States Navy, now known only by its hull number, not by its former name. DSV-4 is an Alvin -class deep submergence vehicle (DSV), a sister ship to Turtle (DSV-3) and Alvin (DSV-2) .
