He said it took about 2.5 hours to get down and he had 3 hours at the bottom. Sounded like the planning to get there was epic. He said most people ask him about "Titanic" and I think he appreciated someone asking him about the expedition. Amazing journey. 35,000 down.

Many moons ago when I was in the Navy, I met the guy that was operating DSV Alvin when Dr Ballard first saw the Titanic on the ocean floor. Somewhere in the basement I got a picture of the moment. Apparently Dr Ballard was a real SOB...
