The ones that make the news are usually the deepest. The current record is something like 330 meters.

A dear friend of mine, Charles F. Brush III, whith whom I shared the excitement of several flag expeditions died this past June. Charlie held the record for the highest altitude dive.

Here are excerpts from his N.Y. Times obit:

Charles F. Brush, Archaeologist Who Piled Adventure Upon Adventure, Dies at 83


Charles F. Brush III, an archaeologist who as president of the Explorers Club persuaded his brethren to take on a singular adventure — admitting women to their den of stuffed polar bears, tarantula appetizers and overstuffed armchairs — died on June 1 in Manhattan. He was 83.

Charles F. Brush III turned to challenges like mountain climbing and scuba diving. In 1983, Dr. Brush combined these passions by ascending a 19,455-foot volcano on the border of Chile and Bolivia, then diving into a lake in its crater.

The quarry was Incan artifacts at the bottom, but he and his colleagues could find only tiny crustaceans, which they took back to Yale. The specimens turned out to be a new species.
