My hotel 8 analysis would indicate the debri field of an implosion would depend on the depth of said implosion relative to ocean floor.

Sub implodes. Many fragments. Sucked initially inward.
If sub imploded ten feet above ocean floor- small debri field.
If sub imploded way above sea floor, fragments disperse as they will guided by hydrodynamic flow, weight, current, gravity, etc. to end up wherever they end up.

Meaning- the debri field underwater isn't so much a result of explosion/implosion forces, as much as the secondary forces acting on the debri as it sinks to the ocean floor?
