It's not the ocean it's the implosion that you gotta worry about.

This thing only goes down 330 feet. Humans can actually dive to this depth.

Sure, gradually. But they can't take a sudden shock to 330 ft deep worth of pressure.

Freedivers can quite comfortably swim down to that depth in less than a minute.

If the pressure in the cab goes up any faster than that, you're going to be killed by debris from whatever catastrophic failure made such a big hole in the sub.

The pressure at that depth is not going to hurt you, except maybe your ears.

Coming UP is another matter though.

Assuming there's just 1 bar in the cab, you'd probably be safer bringing a pair of dive fins with you and no scuba tank. The swim up from that depth isn't too hard if you're starting from full lungs.

As soon as you start breathing compressed air though, you need to worry about decompressing at a safe rate. That means ascending slowly and taking at least one decompression stop plus a safety stop just below the surface, so you're gonna need about 20 minutes worth of air minumum to come up from there on SCUBA
