Why haven't any scientists actually gone inside Loch Ness lake to prove if the myth is true or not?

Question

You always hear of people claiming to have seen the monster but never of anyone going into the depths of the lake and study what is really going on inside. Why can't they just us advanced technology undersea camera's to prove if they monster myth is true. I know this attracts millions of dollars but why don't they?

Answer 1

They have. There have been lots of studies. Check out this from Wikipedia for more info:

Answer 2

The loch's water is full of peat. With so much particulate in the water both photography and sonar can only work at about 30% of what they could in clear water. All natural light ceases to penetrate at 15 feet. If I were a large amphibias beasty this is the kind of place I would tend to hide myself away.

Whether real or not, Nessie should get an award for keeping a lot people happy and busy trying to prove he or she exists or doesn't exist.

Answer 3

im pretty sure today they can get some real nice submersibles and go in there but underwtaer submarines cost tons of money and thats something most scientists today arent willing to sacrifice just for that cause or just dont have. if they had the money, im sure theyd rather spend their money on other scientific experiments rather than a myth that they already probably think is not real.

Answer 4

they actually have sent subs and under water cameras looking for it. But the place is reallly big. They found some new species in the lake, and what they think is a carcass. However, that's all i know from a discovery channel episode

Answer 5

hate to tell you this but YES there have been scientest who have taken the newest sonars and other equipment and gone looking. Because of it's size, depth and dark colored water it is really hard for them to see much. I would recomend you try cathching the show IS IT REAL on the national geographic channel. its a whole series dedicated to so far unproven creatures and such. And if that doesn't work for you then try cryptozoology on line and if you have any more questions about it or any other creature that might be able to answer them for you ok.

Answer 6

about 15 years ago, they did just that! they took a fleet of about 30 boats in a line, and used sensors and motion detectors to scan every inch of the lake, but they didn't find anything. they probaly won't try the same thing again, because it cost so much money to do it. they should though, cuz technology is so much better theese days!

Answer 7

ok i have looked into this and sightings date back hundreds of years ago now surely if there was a monster or monsters one or more should of died by now and when creatures die out at sea or in any water they normally get washed up to shore or even parts of them... When fish die or any water animal they float.... so why has nothing ever surfaced

Answer 8

Oh specific, why no longer... there are some that are confident alien craft's are demons... what's yet another stupid concept further in... choose for it... yet do no longer anticipate rational human beings to settle for it... IMHO

Answer 9

They've done it. They never find anything. Nobody really cares, since it is difficult to prove a negative to crazy people.

Answer 10

the loch is too murky and deep for the scientists to get ironclad evidence
