They never went after the Me323 that was discovered in the Med off the coast of Greece!

It's about as rare and in much shallower water than the Bv222 (which is resting about 190 meters deep, I believe).

At 190 metres there is far less free oxygen in the water so corrosion will be less. Add to that the cold and it should be in quite good condition

Most of the wrecks recovered from the Fjords have been in fantastic shape and if the recover the Bv222 from Trondheim, they will also get a bonus, because prior to scuttling, they packed her with all the Bv222's spare parts, too.
 
Those shots show why flying boats are so much heavier than land based models. Great shots of some of the built in stowable work platforms for the engines!
