The record is listed as both 10,916m and 10,911m in different places throughout wikipedia. From the article on [[Trieste]]: "The onboard systems indicated a depth of 37,800 ft (11,521 m), but this was later revised to 35,813 ft (10,916 m). (However later and more accurate measurements made in 1995 have found the Challenger Deep to be shallower, at 35,798 ft (10,911 m))." |

"Unbeatable" world record is misleading, because the Challenger Deep is only believed to be the deepest spot in the ocean. Since the majority of the ocean bottom is unmapped, a deeper spot may be found, making the record beatable..
