Because everything that is invented today is not done for the sake of discovery but only for the sake of profit. If it costs more money to pull it out of the water than it is worth then there is no desire to continue on with it no matter how interesting the discovery may be.
This is why cheaper and cheaper ways of going into space are being investigated because there are vast almost infinite resources out there, way more than there are in the ocean. Also space has a strategic value that is difficult to put a price on.
