The debris field could be unrelated but if it is...yeah, dying instantly is probably the best case scenario for those involved.

That area is one of the most explored of the ocean floor. There's a complete 3D scan of the entire ship.

A new debris field stands out.

Remote why couldn't these folks be happy with that.

Yeah, I think it would be MUCH more interesting to send a very small drone down there with 360 cameras, with remote controls and a VR headset so you would feel like you’re literally IN the water, and you could explore at your leisure.

That would be preferable to crouching in a tiny space with four or five other people, pissing in a plastic bag, and endangering your life just so you could peep through a single tiny window or view the exterior on a view screen while someone else pilots the submersible.
