Am I the only one who sees the discrepancy here?
Both the Bulls Scarp and the Mobile underwater forest are at around the same depth. Both are right on the surface of the ground, thus it would stand to reason that both went under water at the end of the last ice age, around 20000 BC.
However, dating puts one at 50,000 years old, and another at 20,000?

One is 220 yds below the surface and one is 60 ft below. 660 ft > 60 ft
Not sure what descrepancy you are refering to.

Well, the video on that page actually gave some different figures than the article (and closes the discrepancy a good bit). Using the video's figures, here's a comparison of the two sites:
Underwater Forest: 10 miles off of the coast
Bulls Scarp: 66 miles off of the coast
Underwater Forest: 12,000 years old
Bulls Scarp: 20,000 years old
Underwater Forest: 20 yards deep
Bulls Scarp: 42-220 yards deep
