Diving Deep with Victor Vescovo, Undersea Explorer, Investor, and Former Naval Officer
On this episode of The Adrenaline Zone, hosts James “Sandy” Winnefeld and Sandra Magnus are joined by Victor Vescovo, Undersea Explorer, Investor, and Former Naval Officer.
Victor has tackled risk in just about every form, putting his life on the line in the military, and risking huge financial losses as a private equity investor. His latest endeavor, and the one he’s most excited about, is his journey to the bottom of the ocean.
Time after time, Victor has traveled miles down into the ocean, with just a titanium shell and glass between him and pitch-black ocean depths. Every square inch of water presses against his vessel with thousands of pounds of force, and light is incapable of reaching thousands of meters down below the surface.
Taking on such a hostile environment requires careful planning, and with proper safety procedures in place and a well-engineered submersible, the risk of something going wrong is well mitigated. With good preparation, diving to the bottom of the ocean can be less dangerous than mountain climbing, another passion of Victor’s.
Sometimes extreme environments pose more mental risk than physical danger.
