Underwater Drones May Play Key Role in Malaysia Jet Search
See NBC News
The scientists need to find what Gallo calls the “center of the haystack†before they can begin a search for the needle. And even then, it remains to be seen whether the search will be in deep or shallow water.

And I let my 10-year-old son try them out, who managed 100 meters without any problem.
