not sure if this is the place for this but here goes,
i have been following the news of the indonesian submarine thats currently been lost and they say that they found an object that may be the sub at 50-100 meters and are awaiting ships to arrive with underwater detection facilities to arrive. now considering the rescue of these men (if alive) is time critical (around 24 hours of oxygen left) surely it would be quicker and easier to send a few tec divers down to see what it is and assess the state of the sub (if thats what it is). am i over simplifying it? is there a reason that they cant do that? cause to me 50-100 meters doesnt really seem that far and i imagine the water out there is nice and clear. just interested in why they have to wait for a slow cumbersome ship to arrive
