"It's the last frontier for science and exploration on this planet," he said. "It's to draw public attention to the oceans and continued need for exploration as well as stewardship. It would be a good thing if we understand the oceans before we destroy the life that's in them." Cameron intends to spend six hours at the bottom of the sea in his custom built sub Deepsea Challenger.
