So,
Because of the vast size of the deep ocean, its many challenges, and the high cost of deep-sea exploration, oceanographers have explored less than 0.002% of the deep seafloor in the last 60 years.
If we keep going at that rate, it will take more than a million years to see the entire deep seafloor - Jul 5, 2024
What do you think the biggest discovery (we are allowed to know about) we will see in the next 25 years?
Me? Aquamans home or really big bones of eight foot tell humans

Progress in examining the vast ocean floor will depend on technology, unless all the truckers who lose their jobs to Google-drivers are retrained as deep-sea divers, so who knows?
I think the best discovery in the next 25 years will be that some combination of marine life eating plastic particles and ocean currents will somehow form a Lego land in the Mariana Trench the size of Central Park. I concede that it also might not happen.

Beat me to it.
Also, skeletons basically dissolve in the ocean
No bones left in the Titanic…Marine life mostly does it.

Off the Continental shelves we’ll find more stuff like the pyramid like monolith off of Japan that’s obviously carved, even the Black Sea you can see where towns were before there was a big influx from the Mediterranean when the Dardanelles broke open. Deep sea I don’t think we’re going to find much to be honest, Beyond a few more of the really weird no light gets to them type of marine life and the ones that live by volcano Vents and stuff like that
