Looks more like image compression artifacts to me.

but if only for a moment, the dream was there!
aren't we over-due for some new cosmic cataclysms, anyway?

you've probably heard about this too...

You know, that pic really doesn't look like an ancient city. I'm guessing a hoax.

still, i'm getting my Psycho-Kinetic Energy meter, Ecto-Goggles, & positron collider ready for the hunt ;~})>

As an underwater map maker I agree with the other people who have said it looks like compression or a hoax. I also don't think they've shown us the best images if it's true that they have seen a pyramid and the ruins of peer and beam construction. I don't see those things in those images and those images are not of high enough resolution to believe anyway. Regardless, the pictures seem to warrant some further investigation. With the "facts" given in the article it seems unscientific to jump to the conclusion of an underwater ancient city, though that may be what's needed to get funding.

if anyone is willing to fund an adventure to go check it out, i'm on board!

but even those underwater archaeological projects that have a considerable amount of funding are faced with serious challenges, like this one which attempted to locate the fabled city between cyprus & the levant

Have we already forgotten about the last time this happened. Say, A YEAR AGO?!

yeah, but what if we can fund a trip to the caribbean with this kind of "evidence?" ;~})>
