The father of “Avatar”, James Cameron, has dived into the waters of the deepest and oldest lake in the world, often referred to as “The Pearl of Siberia” - Lake Baikal.
The celebrated American director, known for his lifelong passion for diving, has arrived in Russia, where he is also celebrating his 56th birthday on Monday.
The man behind the two highest-grossing films in history, “Avatar” and “Titanic”, has taken aboard on of the deep-sea submersibles “Mir” on his birthday.
The Canadian-born director has maintained friendly and professional ties with the team of the Mir scientists since 1997, when the experienced Russian explorers were involved in shooting of Titanic.
The goal of the international scientific expedition, entitled “Mir on Baikal”, is to conduct large-scale research on the current state of the most voluminous freshwater lake in the world, as well as one of the world’s clearest.

I think when they refer to him as "the American director", they mean he is working in Hollywood. They write he is Canadian born. That director comment would lead to some confusion. He did have an application for US citizenship, but Bush disgusted him too much so he stopped.
Guys, Canada is American!Your all American, north central and south.Your just not all slime like the yankie dogs.But Canadians are still a bit weird ;)
