    With 71 percent of the Earth’s surface covered in water, tons of valuable artifacts and lost ancient relics are bound to get lost. Here are 5 amazing underwater archaeological ever found during deep dives.

    Fascinating.
    I've often thought about trying under-water metal detecting but my metal detector is only waterproof to a depth of 10 feet and I haven't got any diving gear. Or a boat.

    Davy Jones locker is believed to be in the south atlantic ocean.

    Monkees are rumored to be looking for it

    World record for holding your breath underwater is 22 minutes and 22 seconds. I did it 8 years ago before I changed my name.

    For most people, yes, but think for the world record to stand the guy had to be alive after it happened. To be fair, he hyperventilated with pure oxygen for 19 minutes and 30 seconds before he did it.

    To be fair, the **** hyperventilated with pure oxygen for 19.5 mintues before doing it. Surely that is cheating? Like just being awarded the title.
