"Wanderer" by Shane Lindemoen:
During an ocean expedition, the crew of the Deepsea Meridian planned to descend to what's called the Challenger Deep -- the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, and what's widely accepted as the lowest point on the planet -- to launch a smaller remote submersible into a newly discovered chasm named the Meridian Line, which researchers believed could drop the Mariana Trench's current depth of 36,000 feet to somewhere around 50,000.
At 12:30 pm, on June 25th, 2023, the surface crew lost contact with the submersible and its divers. Nine days later, the Deepsea Meridian resurfaced in the Western Pacific, one hundred and twenty-four miles off the coast of Guam. Water rescue had little hope of finding any survivors aboard, but when they opened the hatch, a single researcher emerged. And he was alive.
