what is the name of the mini sub that can go to extreme depths?

I'm not talking about the Odyssey. I can't remember the name of the one that discovered numerous new and odd looking creatures. I remember seeing the documentary, but can't recall the sub's name.

    Alvin. Alvin (DSV-2) is a 16-ton, manned deep-ocean research submersible owned by the United States Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The craft was built by General Mills' Electronics Group[1] in the same factory used to manufacture breakfast cereal-producing machinery in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Named to honor the prime mover and creative inspiration for the vehicle, Allyn Vine, Alvin was commissioned on 5 June 1964.
