I do hope they all get rescued, so he can face jailtime for his stupidity.
Unless the submersible released its ballast and is bouncing around on the surface of the ocean waiting to be found, there's not a hope in hell of rescuing them. The odds that the submersible will ever even be found are remote.

Even if it was bobbing around on the surface, they’re screwed. It only had one access port bolted to the outside with seventeen bolts and no way to open it from the inside and no way to get more oxygen in.

It does amaze me that they don’t have oxygen tubes that they can release to come to the surface in the event of an emergency. That should be standard equipment when the engines become inoperative.
At 500 atmospheres, the sub should be floating and not sinking. Releasing air into balloons would have allowed it to rise, at least to the point where somebody in an oxygen mask can swim the rest of the way.
