Wilson Blanc remembered reading somewhere once that the ocean floor is supposedly littered with the bones of long-dead bodies, including those of humans.

On hindsight, maybe there is some bit of a truth in there–what with plane crashes and sunken ships happening all throughout humanity's very long course of history travelling in or over the ocean–I mean, there is no doubt that countless lives have been stolen by the sea, leaving so many victims in unmarked and watery graves.

Scientists have claimed that even until now humanity has only explored less than 5% of the Earth's oceans, after all.

...alright, maybe Wilson shouldn't really be thinking about these kinds of things right now, what with the next diving operation coming close any moment because he'll end up creeping the heck out of himself and as a professional diver, that's just sad.
