The ocean floor is about 5,000 feet below the surface. The oil reservoir was drilled another 13,000 feet from that point. An extensive subsea cloud of oil from the well has been confirmed by NOAA. The formation of clouds is a new phenomena requiring research. The use of dispersants subsea may be factor as well as the near freezing temperatures at the sea floor. The cloud is extensive but the concentration of oil droplets in these clouds is low.
"Dispersed oil tends not to float but instead falls below the surface and drifts at mid-depths" - quote from Yahoo! news.

I believe that it was BPs fault. They admited on live news that the oil spilt was their oil and that they are doing their best to clean up as much oil as possible. But it wasn't fully BPs fault, i think that i heard the news say that they "hit some coral" or something im not very sure but if that is the case then it wasn't entirely their fault.
