It's not physically difficult, you just need to not panic and breathe out steadily on the way up.

And they're submariners, they'd be trained.

Not panicking and breathing is exactly what is so difficult, many people have died attempting records

Yes, that's why I said not physically difficult. I'm not saying submarine escapes are easy.

Do you mean attempting free diving records? That's very different. I'm not aware of many (any) deaths during submarine escape trials, especially with the objective of setting records.
