      For sure! Its happening more and more even now! I think drone technology will allow us to explore the ocean a lot easier since we won’t have to risk peoples lives in the really deep ocean. People are also looking for natural resources as well so there is a lot more exploration going on now. I don’t think we will have explored all of it since there is so much to explore and there isn’t the incentive (at least yet) to check the entire ocean.

      From a particular point of view the Ocean is a little planet inside ours that we haven’t explored yet!
      The deeps are mostly unexplored which it’s also the reason why we discover new animals living in this sunless abyss every year.
      This kind of exploration is quite expensive but some research groups are putting their efforts in developing submarines able to survive the high pressure of the Ocean!
      I hope they will be able to explore more because I love to see the alien-like creature of the deep,

      Definitely!
      So much of our oceans have been untouched and there is so much to learn from them.
      With the advancements in technology we now have the ability to travel deeper into oceans than ever before.
