it's a far quicker way to die than slowly suffocating to death

I believe he said that before it was confirmed that the sub imploded, in reference to the idea of slowly suffocating in a cramped space with minimal hope of escape. As I said, that's why real subs carry cyanide pills for everyone on board: if they end up with a life support failure, it's really only humane to make sure everyone has an easier out than that.

With more recent information, yeah, their deaths were probably near-instantaneous. Humans can't remain conscious through such rapid pressurization as that, even if they somehow managed not to be crushed by the walls of the sub as it collapsed. So at least they probably didn't suffer.
