Small subs were never made to go that deep.

Research subs can go that deep but they are fabulously expensive, painstakingly engineered, and carefully monitored and maintained. They are not designed for sightseeing tourists.

And this was not a submarine. It was a submersible. It requires a support ship to get it to location, launch it, monitor it, and get it out of the water. It doesn’t have the same autonomy, range and maneuverability as a submarine.
