I copied a paragraph for those who do not wish to read the whole article.
Link Deep Ocean Expeditions
“In early 2000 he got together with Michael McDowell, an Australian entrepreneur and adventurer who is the CEO of a company called Deep Ocean Expeditions (DOE). DOE regularly charters the Russian research ship Akademik Mistivlav Keldysh and its two Mir submersibles of offer tourist dives to famous places on the seafloor of the world ocean. At 6,500 tons, it is the world's largest oceanographic vessel while the Mirs are capable of diving with three people to depths as great as 20,000 feet. This depth capability meant that they could reach 98% of the seafloor worldwide.”
Now as far as the bodies crushing due to the ocean pressure I’m not sure, but Naomi did say something in the regards of vessels taking pictures of the bodies in the plane. Now I am assuming the bodies were in tacked. Enough so that they were able to be properly identified, which must mean they weren’t crushed but what did they use to identify them? Blood samples, teeth, bones, hair? I mean how did the others manage to replicate any of that?

Jacques Cousteau led an expedition to the bottom of the Marianas Trench in the mid to late Sixties in the submersible
Trieste. I can't recall the maximum depth they recorded, but it was approaching 30,000 feet. And that was with 40 year-old technology.
