How fast did the people in it die?

Of course once the sub filled with water they would die instantly because it would reach insane pressures (300-400 ATM or 5800 PSI)

15psi, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz95_VvTxZM

Now multiply that by 400x

They died before they knew it.

Even if they "only" died as fast as that shows, if you are on the inside, you get crushed by the pressure on your body so fast you likely wouldn't realize anything.
