Francisco "Pipin" Ferreras will attempt a new World record freedive during this documentary. It will be in honor of his wife, Audrey Mestre, who died last year on a WR attempt.
I know the people involved in this project and infact they leave next week to start it.

I know a guy who got to take the ride to the Titanic in the Sub just about 7 weeks ago. I was blown away that he got to do it, few people ever get the chance.

I would love to make a dive to the Titanic. How do you go about doing that? I know it's expensive but do you have to go through Wood's Hole Institute or something? Any info?

I suspect its not that ez.
On camerons documentary (3d imax one) each dive to the Titanic was $12k, They only hold hold 3 people and with filming the priority getting a seat would be imposible. Too expensive to send a sightseer. Each dive utilized 2 subs, so you talking $24 K per dive for the both. Not to mention the boat ride out, meals, air fair ect ect. Right now i would say its next to .009% chance any of us get to go do it. Maybe in 10+ years things will be different.

In ten years it will probably be a lot easier and more accomodating to visit the Titanic. How did your aquaintance get to ride down to see it? Is he a photographer or videographer or something? Lucky guy he is. Or lucky girl.

a guy.
He works for Jim Cameron. After the 3d special was filmed and released they went back to the titanic ( about 7 weeks ago) to pick up the fiber optic cables they left behind during the filming. I guess it was more of a clean up trip, not sure they even did any filming.
