[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone thought about training a pod of dolphins to swim down and try to dislodge the tourist submarine. They are incredibly bright animals and should only take a couple of hours to train. Would be good to at least try while they wait for the ship with unmanned submersibles to arrive.

They could also consider some sort of pully with magnets, perhaps using a nearby fishing ship in the area. [/quote]

It's 13000 ft into the darkest depths. No dolphin or fishing boat can navigate this. Even military submarines.

You're envisioning a fun little snorkling trip . This isn't it.[/quote]

Yes, there's an excellent video circulating on Twitter that lists the depths that various marine animals and subs can swim at.

Here's a little graphic on marine animals:

I wonder what that Culiver Bearded Whale does all the way down there. It is interesting to me that animals have set depths they can dive to. Like do they each experiment and find this out on their own? Decides the pressure gets too much or they run out of O2 and have to get back. How do they know how much time it takes to get back to the surface to get air? [/quote]
