People magazine has an article about James Cameron celebrating his birthday by diving to the bottom of the world’s deepest lake. He’ll go in a submersible, of course, like the one used to investigate the Titanic. The lake is Lake Baikal, in Russia.

The New York Times blog reports that you can use scuba to watch a Vegas show. The show is “La Reve” at Wynn Las Vegas.
