Thanks for the ping.
"A research expedition planned for July had to be canceled because ADC didn't get the Cuban government's permission to import additional equipment, including a manned submersible, Zelitsky said."
I read last night what happened to this July expedition. The US State department pressured National Geographic to pull their funding due to it's connection to Castro. They had pledged $2 million to this project.

HI Blam. Couple questions: 1) I don't think I've seen any pictures of these "structures" near Cuba, have a link to anything like that? I've seen the pictures of those "structures" off of Japan, several years back. Are these anything like those off of Japan? 2) Would National Geographic acutally pay any "big" money to Castro for conducting research/documentaries about this? I could see the State Department getting touchy about that, given the current world situation. It would seem to me that most of the $2M would be spent on oceanographic (is that a word LOL) equipment and production costs.
Thanks

Heard Graham Hancock last night flogging his new book, [didn't catch the title, but it should be on the shelf in the bookstore next to Fingerprints of the Gods, etc.] which is at least partly about the underwater ruins off Cuba. He generally writes interesting if inconclusive books.
