Enlarged Dining Facilities Large Parking Area - EVERYONE WELCOME Bathyscaph Goes To Record Depth In Pacific Ocean San Diego -(UPD- The 75-ton, blimp-shaped bathyscaph Tri este has reached ocean depths in the West Pacific never be fore explored by man, the Naval Electronics Laboratory revealed today. The Trieste plunged to a depth of 24,000 feet, breaking its own record of 18,600 feet set in November in the same location -- about 200 miles southeast of Guam. Under for Six Hours The laboratory said the craft was submerged for six hours and 31 minutes. It was piloted by Navy Lt. Donald Walsh, officer in charge, and Jacques Piecard, co-inventor of the deep-diving vessel. A series of dives with the bathyscaph was expected to continue through February, a spokesman said, in the Mar ianas Trench, which is be lieved to be 37.500 feet deep. Hopes for Facts The Navy said it hoped to establish facts about sunlight penetration, underwater visi bility, natural underwater sounds, transmission of man made sounds, water currents and temperatures, sea floor configuration and the effect of deep water pressures on mechanical devices. Presumably, informa t i o n gathered by the deep-diving tests would be used to develop nuclear submarines capable of traveling at even greater depths than at present.
