Someone once said there is a similar vehicle/ammo dump in the St Lawrence and shown in a Jacques Cousteau show/documentary.
Does anyone know if this is true, or another urban myth? Would it really be that hard to take a few balloons down, give them all a shot of air from spare scuba tanks , tether and let the air lift them? With different lengths of tether, balloons near the surface could be filled almost 100% to provide max lift, I guess the tough part would be breaking one free, once free. lifting and slowly towing to shore might not be so difficult? or is this just silly?

lift bags would easily raise them, however getting authority to do it is one thing.... also when the machine is pulled from the fizzy sea bath, unless it is immediately emersed in a solution to counter act the salt.... the thing will fizz away and become as brittle as the preverbial Wan~~rs hankerchief in hours.
seen it happen first hand.
