I agree that there doesn’t appear to be a plan to catch the submersible and retrieve it. I gotta think an ROV could attach something to it and bring it to surface. Once there, perhaps they invert it so they can get the people out (if they are still alive).

I wonder. I know that the pressure in an airplane changed a bit with altitude, but not a lot. I wonder if a sub does something similar, small increase (but < 1 atm). My dad spent some time on submarines (nuclear fast attack) but I don't remember that coming up. He was pretty tight lipped about what he did.
