I strongly encourage people to look into the methods used to locate wreckage under in the ocean, it's a fascinating problem that often uses cutting edge equipment and software to help. Autonomous underwater vehicles are used to map the sea floor, human analysis augmented by software lets you know where to narrow your search. Also, the human interaction in areas not far from the coast is interesting because local divers will often find wreckage and sell what they find from it which can be used to locate wreckage (or be misdirected when divers purposefully give incorrect information so their site isn't found, since they're usually breaking laws).
