Fire sites underwater?

It might be my experience with late age magic site rarity + the fact that they added a lot of new sites in 3.10...
But in my LE Atlantis game (3.08), it wasn't worth searching underwater for death sites. I could expect one, maybe two sunken ships in all the seas. I have to keep in mind it might be different in 3.10.

I've noticed lots of earth sites underwater compared to others (apart from water, obviously).

Incidentally, is the distribution of gem sites equal overall? I ask because in several SP games and the one MP game I've played, air sites seem to be very thin on the ground compared to other elements.

For the fun of it I counted the death income from water provinces in the late game perpetuality, where I play Rlyeh. I have searched maybe 60-65 of those provinces with death at level 9. My total income from water provinces in death gems are 21 (this game was created during the 3.08 time I belive). If it is worth searching those water provinces ?

Cost to search: 60+*3=180+ gems
Total incomehard to estimate since I didn't start with max income, but approximatly - at turn 85 now)=60*21=1200+

Generally speaking, search for sites even underwater if you can.
