An American explorer Victor Vescovo has broken the record for the deepest ever dive & finds plastic waste at the bottom of the sea. He descended nearly 11 km to the deepest place in the ocean-the Pacific ocean's Mariana Trench. It's the 3rd time humans have reached the ocean's extreme depths. He spent 4 hours exploring the bottom, found sea creatures but also found a plastic bag & sweet wrappers.
