Indian aquanauts set record with 5,002-metre deep dive in the Atlantic Ocean:

India’s first-ever aquanauts, Senior Scientist Raju Ramesh and Commander (Retd.) Jatinder Pal Singh, successfully undertook deep-sea expeditions in the Atlantic Ocean, reaching depths of 4,025 metres and then 5,002 metres, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh confirmed. This historic milestone makes it the deepest underwater dive ever conducted by Indians. The two record-setting dives, which lasted for a combined seven hours, mark India’s entry into the global league of deep ocean exploration.
