Two things are unavailible to Sea life.....Fire, and Hands.
Fire= accessible energy=eventual technological innovation.
Hands=Tools=eventual technological innovation.
Water is the brick wall, that has prevented cetacean developement beyond current abilities. Maybe if whales had hands they could utilize hydrothermal vents as energy sources, but what media would they build with?
