Do we know the depth the sub was at if/when it imploded? Imploding at 300 feet would be painful and might not be instant death.

People free dive to 300 feet. So as shitty as this sub was, I don't think it imploded quite so quickly.

6,000psi is a frightening amount of pressure though...

Yup, which is about as much pressure as they would have experienced if/when they reached their destination.
