"Sunken Treasure.... No words in the language hold more magic. Who hasn’t dreamed, some time or other, of diving into one of the lost galleons of the Spanish Main loaded with precious cargo of gold and silver. Millions......no, billions of dollars worth of treasure lies at the bottom of the sea buried beneath the coral of centuries.” - Sir Arthur C. Clarke.
