Archaeologists discover treasure horde of cultural relics beneath the waves, reports Zhang Zixuan in Guangdong.
At a depth of 27 meters, archaeological diver Ruan Youhao found the baseline he laid along a shipwreck last July. He took a tool from his diving partner to mark several cabins in the beam of an underwater flashlight.
