I'm afraid the HBOI folks are going to disagree. They have always done 
mid-water studies, and made stunning discoveries. In very deep water, I might 
add. It is a wonderful sensation to be adrift in the sea, and to be the only 
alien life form. Everybody else you see BELONGS there, don'cha know? Point 
being that mid-water work is, in fact, quite common for the biota sniffers, 
and it is usually done above big deeps to sample critters in the non-coastal 
environments of the deep ocean. And then there are all those military guys 
and gals, jamming around at 400 to 1000 feet with 10,000 feet between them 
and bedrock ....
