they wouldn't drown. they would be crushed. in an instant
pressure increases 1 atmosphere every 10 meters of depth.
if you're in the deep sea, like 300 meters down, without oxygen and pressurized suit, you would be crushed. like a coke can when its run over by a car. the pressure also causes nitrogen poisoning... and its really cold down there.
so if somehow you're not reduced to mush and you don't die ofthe nitrogen, you'd freeze to death.

They would die of drowning before they could actually get there. (If a submersible broke there, the person would die by being crushed by all the water)

it depends, if they were at the bottom of the ocean they would be crushed. if they were at the top they would eventually drown.
