CHINA'S manned deep-sea submersible Jiaolong aims to dive to a depth of 7,000 meters in the Mariana Trench on Monday after already surpassing the record for the nation's deepest descent. The Jiaolong reached depths of 6,671; 6,965 and 6,963 meters in its three dives from June 15 to Friday, well surpassing the previous record of 5,188 meters last July. Problems remain with its adjustable ballast system, however, and must be corrected before the fourth dive, officials said. The Xiangyanghong 09, the vessel's mother ship, arrived at the designated dive zone on June 11.
