With composting, you usually want to work with a lot of air and oxygen, aerobic composting. But that is obviously difficult under the water where oxygen is more limited. So what exactly happens when large amounts of bio-matter breaks down in a lake or the sea as opposed to on land and with plenty of oxygen? And are there any man-made composting systems designed to work while fully submerged?

Eh if you look at the chemical form of water H2O you will find there is indeed oxygen in water. A water molecule is composed of two hydrogen and one oxygen atom, covalently bonded.
