If you go to the websites and read about it you will soon realize why it is very difficult the dig out whatever is down there. The fact that video footage has shown chests of some sort could indicate that it is infact buried treasure.
I know that having something on a website does not make it true but there are many websites written about it and I found some news sources talking about it. And I know that still doesn't make it true but there comes a point when the exsistance of something is more plausible than its non exsistence. This seems to be one of those cases.

That does seem logical actually. Digging through the earth is not that easy especially when there are obstacles in the way and the fact that it fills with water once you get to a certain level.
Thats like saying "We put a man on the moon so logically people living at sea level can have basements"
Living in Florida, I can tell you that no one here has basements for the same reason that they cannot dig down to 200 feet. Simply put the hole fills with water and caves in on itself.
There is more evidence that points to buried treasure than evidence that can dispute it. Ann inscription on a rock was found that when deciphered said that "2 million pounds are below," video footage and bore samples have revealed much evidence. There are also several underground tunnels leading to the pit some of which cause it to flood other may have been access tunnels.
The websites also state that the treasure can be retrieved by simple starting a tunnel some 200 or so feet away and digging at an angle toward the bottom but such a feat would cost upwards of $15 million. Judging from the amount of companies that went broke trying to get it already no one is in a big hurry to cough up the cash.
As a response to the whole tourist trap idea the island isn't even open to tourists any more it is owned by a company that is currently trying to raise the money to extract whatever is buried there.
