You've seen the photos by time you posted, if you have any interest in this, of the crushed sections of the underwater side.

A moment's thought would have helped you realize that when the ship capsized, it was not in the stable final resting position. That makes the search underwater then very dangerous.

It seems you have little idea just how dangerous and difficult such work is, or you wouldn't have been so cavalier with your remarks.
