Baz - you are smarter than this.

The ROVs capable of titanic depths were days away - boats carrying these don’t move fast. If they were presumed alive, they had to search using whatever evidence was available.

They knew that by the time the ROVs could be dispatched, if the hull was intact, the likelihood of survivors was low, so they focused search efforts in other places.
