I'm not sure what aircraft was first to fly into the Dead Sea area to take
honors for the first lowest flight ever, but I know the Graf Zeppelin did
it in 1929, going to about 1000 feet below sea level. It didn't even need a
snorkel! :-)


There was a guy who flew a hot air balloon in a large, deep cave,
could be even deeper... I forget the details though.
