Dieseling happens at 300 psi, more or less. Water pressure about 700 feet down would be 300 psi. A hull failure with a water leak below 700 feet would instantly “diesel” any organic material, like, say bodies, such that one wouldn’t expect to find anything but ash. That’s one reason we don’t bother to look for bodies in submarine wrecks.
This contraption was built to operate in 6,000 psi water. A leak of any size anywhere near that depth would act like an industrial waterjet and slice a body in half or more, just before the pressure incinerated it. If there was a water leak these folks had maybe time for two breaths-—RIP.

Whales dive to 12,000 feet.
It also would likely blast right through the other side of the craft.
Destruction would happen quickly
