It looks like the Russians and the Americans are breaking new records under our seas as they go deeper and discover more and more unique things. While NASA studies other planets, asteroids meteors, suns and moons, we have yet to discover or document over 1/2 of the surface of our planet, which lies under our giant oceans.
So what have we found? Several new species for one thing and we have erased previous thought to be known facts about underwater volcanoes. It appears much of those old research papers must now be re-written with new theories attached.
We have discovered enormous formations underwater that we did not believe possible made of known elements of our periodic tables and compounds that defy our current knowledge.
Robotic Unmanned Underwater Vehicles have made great advances this year both in the private sector and the public sector, as well as the military. The private sector uses these subs for exploration, research and underwater infrastructures like cables.
University robotics, science and engineering departments are working on all sorts of ROVs, UUVs, and mini-submarines for nearly any type of use such as:
In fact, just about anything you can think of having to do with such underwater robotic technology has made strides in 2008 and many who study this area of science and technology, as well as many futurists believe this is the tip of the iceberg and we will continue to see new innovations each and every year.
Manned submarines have also broken records this year:

The spot takes us on an all-fear, all-boogeymen trip around the world, with Hugo Chavez, Ahmadinejad, and ski-masked jihadis riding shotgun.
