My congratulations to all of you for the excellent works and best results with Dr. Robert Ballard. I'm proud, I was a member of Dr.Bob Ballard's team of Black sea expeditions 2001 and 2002 of the Institute of Explorations and Institute of Oceanology of Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. We had a great chance and success! Unfortunately, we had not your great chance to use such new remote operated vehicles as HERCULES (Look at http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/01/17/1042520776188.html and http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/?id=747)
