Great journalism.

"resurfaced six hours earlier than expected."

"Cameron spent a little more than three hours under water after reaching a depth of 35,756 feet before he began his return to the surface, according to information provided by the expedition team. He had planned to spend up to six hours on the sea floor."

So that'll be three hours earlier than expected, no?

"Once on the surface, Cameron, who also directed Avatar and The Abyss, plans to spend six hours collecting samples for biologists and geologists to study, before making the 70 minute journey back to the surface."

So once he's on the surface, he'll journey back to the surface. Right!

I look forward to his next film about 8 foot aliens living at the bottom of the mariana trench !!

according to what you just put there he spent about 30 mins at the bottom 70+ mins each way and time at the bottom... That can't be right unless there was something wrong, but he seemed very excited for someone to come back so quickly.

Already done. Abyss.

I used to have a girlfriend called Marianna – I got to the bottom of her trench way before Cameron

Cue: crab jokes

Maybe no loos wasn't good news?

funny...... pretty predictable..... but I still had a wee titter

[croyde]

Wherever I am working I always worry about where the loos are and it was the first thing that I thought of when I saw the space that Cameron had to sit in for 6 hours or so. Did he have to wear an astronaut nappy?

You think you're joking but go and read the plan for Avatar 2...

[Jasandjules]

He's a lucky man to see that.

Probably Richard Branson. Go on a mission to Venus and that tt would pop up from a gas cloud, grinning like some alien fkwit.

So basically he was planning to be down there a while, realised there's fk all there so nothing to put in a 3d film and came back early?
