It would be sonar buoys, dropped from an airplane.
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.
That's right. A decent sub with a 396 4 barrel would be back on the surface by now.
It’s a very dangerous & utterly stupid situation. This is what they were doing for safety:
“The company claims this technology, developed in-house, uses acoustic sensors to listen for the tell-tale sounds of carbon fibers in the hull deteriorating to provide “early warning detection for the pilot with enough time to arrest the descent and safely return to surface.”
It was either somewhere in this article or another, that it was said carbon fiber hulls would ‘shatter’ when they fail - milliseconds of ‘warning’ is likely all they would get, if even that. Personally, I think that might be a more preferable end than crammed in a small space, total darkness, cold, condensation, running out of air - entombed alive for possibly hours/days before mercifully passing out from lack of air, then suffocating.

You beat my by about a minute!
Should have packed a Sawzall.
He said that they lost contact with the Titan at about an hour and a half into its two and a half hour descent. As the submersible descends, the ocean pressure steadily increases. Therefore, the likely cause of loss of contact is the increasing pressure.
The inference is that the submersible suffered a catastrophic loss of structural containment due to the increasing pressure on the hull while it was still diving to the wreck of the Titanic.
This search and rescue is all for show, the ultimate virtue signaling while Hunter Biden is freed and President Trump is indicted.

The metal rims of the end caps would make good high pitch sound emitters.
“Never send an EV to do a mama’s job. “
All deep sea submersibles are “EV’s”. One of the lost passengers has made at least 35 trips to the Titanic.
It’s a training mission.
“Yes, it is.”
Go back to his post and view the replies ...
. Not anymore.

Whales dive to 12,000 feet.
LOL...Gotcha...
Probably dropped sonobuoys into the water. The anti-sub buoy picks up noises and transmits them to the plane overhead.
Whales don’t suddenly go from 14.6 lbs/psi to 6,000.
Internet reports today say the owner of the sub did not want “old white men” helping build it because we are not who he wanted ideas from. OK, so be it,
The whale does not live inside a bubble with air pressure from the surface. It’s different...
They use sonobuoys.
