Explorer Extraordinaire Victor Vescovo joins Dive In with Liz & Sylvia

Victor is a venture capitalist with particular interests in aerospace, defense, and life sciences. He received his bachelor’s degree from Stanford University, a Master’s Degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Additionally, he served 20 years in the U.S. Navy Reserve as an intelligence and targeting officer, retiring in 2013 as a Commander. In 2017, Victor completed the “Explorer’s Grand Slam” which requires climbing the highest peak on all seven of the world’s continents including Mt. Everest and skiing to the North and South Poles. He piloted the first repeated dives to the ocean’s deepest point, Challenger Deep in the Pacific’s Mariana Trench - now fifteen times, and in August 2019 became the first person to visit “The Five Deeps,” the deepest point in all five of the world’s oceans. Victor has now personally explored the bottom of seventeen deep ocean trenches and has made three dives to the Titanic including the only solo dive ever made there. He and his team also discovered the deepest shipwreck in the world: the USS Samuel B. Roberts, at 22,600 feet in 2022. Between 2018-2022, his research vessel the DSSV Pressure Drop mapped over 3 million square kilometers of seafloor, close to 1% of the seafloor’s total area, and named over 60 undersea features. Victor is also a commercially rated, multi-engine jet and helicopter pilot, a certified submersible test pilot, and flew into space on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket in June 2022, becoming the first person in history to climb Mount Everest, dive to the bottom of the ocean, and visit space.
