AFP - Titanic director James Cameron will try in the coming weeks to dive to the deepest place on Earth, further than any other human has on a solo mission, to return with specimens and images.

Cameron would seek to accomplish his feat aboard a submersible as futuristic as anything in his movies, the National Geographic scientific institution, which has partnered with the Canadian filmmaker for the Deepsea Challenge project, said Thursday.

During testing off Papua New Guinea on Tuesday, Cameron of Avatar and Abyss fame dived deeper than any other human has on a solo mission at a record-breaking 5.1 miles (8.2 kilometers), according to National Geographic.
