A few words about the original:
Deepsea Challenger (DCV 1) is a 7.3-metre (24 ft) deep-diving submersible designed to reach the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest-known point on Earth. On 26 March 2012, Canadian film director James Cameron piloted the craft to accomplish this goal in the second crewed dive reaching the Challenger Deep. Built in Sydney, Australia, by the research and design company Acheron Project Pty Ltd, Deepsea Challenger includes scientific sampling equipment and high-definition 3-D cameras; it reached the ocean's deepest point after two hours and 36 minutes of descent from the surface.

- ship screws added to vertical engines
- 3D camera added above the visor
- 4 reflectors added above the visor
- added arms, on the right another 3D camera and reflector, on the left reflector, added cables
-completed robotic arm under the visor, added reflector and cables
- added details and load on both sides of the hull
-added rivets and frames that protect vertical motors and reflectors (wire) and that's about it...
