Imagine if you jumped out of a helicopter two miles high. You have a parachute but its totally dark. Your target is something the size of the titanic. The wind is blowing 7 knots.

How far are you going to drift by the time you reach the ground? The viz is 30 feet and you have a flashlight.

If the mother ship had an active sonar they could ping the submersible and give corrections.
