[ WP ] They say that 95 % of the ocean is unexplored . That is untrue . We just really , REALLY do n't want to bother what lives down there .

That's right, research into the oceans is restricted, not by physics, not by material constraints, but by him, Arthur Curry. Atlantis owns the seas and they have declared that below a certain depth we are entering their domain. Their king, a God among us, is wealthier than any Arab Prince. His influence on world leaders, both through lobbying and his recent admittance into the United Nations, is unprecedented. 
 
 Now, you might ask, what are they hiding, why do n't they want us down there? According to Curry it's not about exploration, but the human capacity for exploitation that Curry fears. He's proposed a new way though. In a treaty, signed with the United Nations, Curry promises to share Atlantean technology with the surface, given the promise that they use it to remove their dependence on fossil fuels in the next 5 years. 
 
 Already Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen, Ray Palmer, and Ted Kord have announced an unprecedented group effort to reverse engineer technologies that can be readily applied to address the world's energy needs. Luthor Corp also has plans with the technology, though, due to censures placed on the company, access to certain information will be restricted. 
 
 If we can meet Curry's deadline, he says, then humanity will be one step closer to being allowed to explore the deep.
