KaikĹŤ



Kaikō (かいこう) was a remote control Japanese deep-sea submarine that sampled bacteria from the ocean floor of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, the deepest location in the world. On March 2, 1996, Kaikō reached a depth of 10,897 m, marking the deepest dive for an unmanned submersible on record (the Bathyscaphe Trieste still holds the record for deepest dive, made in 1960).
