Can't help but think it would be useful to know whether it is between the middle and the top or the middle and the bottom. A few more iterations like that and we'd locate it no problem.

I think crude is mostly composed of fractions that are less dense than sea water (it floats), though I believe there are mechanisms that can cause it to sink. Were BP spraying it with sand?

"I think it is underneath the water. It's in between the bottom and the top of the water," Cepriano said.

You could gather up the water and sell it as homeopathic petrol.

The chemical tulip they put into water tied up oil underwater. Allegedly.
