we cant xray the ocean coz the image produced is actually a shadow of the object and therefore is formed on a screen/film behind it. but we can definetly use sonar 4 that purpose coz it refects 4m the ocean floor

in oceans the technique employed is doing a sort of an x-ray by sound waves, its called SONAR and the kind of survey is called Bathemetric survey.
sound waves are generated form a device being towed on the sea surface in a 'boat'. the sound waves hit the bottom of sea or anything lying on it and are reflected back. teh device tehn reads the waves reflected and draws an image of the sea bed.

x ray,no way. Satellites are much more effective, and i think if you check out National Geographical web site you can find more info on this

The same as fish for water you need to use sonar, i think depends how deep the water.

What you need is sidescan sonar. It was used to find the Titanic.

Be easier to just plug the big plug, but refilling it could be a bit of a Bastard..
