- lostmsu 2y agoProbably impractical. Digging underwater is much harder than carefully lowering something on the floor.
- raelming 2y agoThere's already underwater powered trenching/laying equipment they use to bury the cables within X miles from the shore. The Baltic Sea is probably shallow enough to bury it all the way across at a higher cost per mile of course.

- Aloisius 2y agoThe C-Lion1 cable that was cut was reported buried 1 meter below the seabed. Unfortunately, that wasn't deep enough since heavy ship anchors which can dig in deeper than that.
