Should we invest more investment in undersea research and exploration?

I'm more interested in discovering cures for our illnesses before going up into the unknown and die from diseases we could've cured

Recently watched Blue Planet II (because David Attenborough is amazing) and it got me thinking about a subject I have mentioned before but Should we consider more investment in undersea research and exploration?

I suspect a number of space buffs will say no and suggest most investment should go into space exploration because we fucked the planet up but to me that's defeatist /shrug over 70% of the planet is ocean and we still haven't scratched the secrets within that could drastically improve our lives both medically and scientific

We should invest in both.
