Hmmm, I dont know about this one, I thnk the main reason that the ocean aint been fully explored is probally down to the fact that the means is not yet available,

I vaguely remember an incident in Canada....was it Shag Harbour??....where a radar station tracked an object that appeared to dissapear into the sea off Newfoundland...and was picked up by a secret US sonar station diving to the bottom of the ocean?? (please correct me if i'm wrong...)
Originally posted by NerevarWhat is the reason that the depths of the oceans are the least explored place on earth?? Imagine what could be found, Dozens of new species. There must be a real good reason as to why the depths have not been explored.

Hence the reason not to explore the deep ocean...hence the reason for the typical description of aliens to be short, grey skinned thingys with big black eyes....
my point is that we haven't even explored this planet completely yet and are forever looking upwards to the stars....there must be a reason...

Because it's a difficult environment... cold, dark, high pressures, poor communication ability. Most of our equipment will crush at that depth.

I think we would learn so much about our own history that has been buried beneath the water

I saw a program about a year ago, humans have oly explored 2% of the worlds ocean floor.
We got a long way to go considering the ocean floor is 2/3 rds of our planetary surface.

Yeah...but look at the obstacles to man being in space.....sorta the same thing....surely if we can manage that, we could also overcome said obstacles......I'd love to this happen! I think we would learn so much about our own history that has been buried beneath the water

Aquatic archaeology is definitly a wide open field, but at the depths they are talking about? There wouldn't be cities and whatnot that far out. Aquatic archaeology usually involves formerly coastal areas.
