Trieste is a Swiss-designed, Italian-built deep-diving research bathyscaphe, designed by Auguste Piccard.
The Trieste's crew of two reached a record maximum depth of about 10,911 metres (35,797 ft), in the deepest known part of the Earth's oceans (the Challenger Deep, in the Mariana Trench near Guam in the Pacific).

Bertrand Piccard tackles challenges that others consider impossible. He completed the first ever non-stop round-the-world flight in a balloon, and is the initiator, chairman and Pilot of the “Solar Impulse” project: a solar airplane which is going to travel around the world in 2015 without a single drop of fuel. Psychiatrist, he draws from his hypnosis training and his interest in Eastern philosophies a different look that puts the human being and their quality of life in the foreground.
