The single biggest and most urgent problem is locating the boxes. Retriving them can certainly be done. Problem is the sonar pingers on the boxes last 30 days only.
What I don't understand is why a SSN/SSBN submarine from someone's Navy doesn't head on down to the area and with their ultra sensitive passive sonar array - locate the boxes and pass on the co-ordinates to the retrival teams. No one need know how sensitive the equipment was that found it, so the militaries shouldn't mind.
