The depth of the Atlantic Seabed would force Dr. Ballard to go deeper than any deep-sea diver had gone before. In 1973, the ALVIN (a manned deep- ocean research submersible owned by the United States Navy) had to go through structure changes to withstand the depth necessary to reach the Titanic which was around 13,000 feet.
