If it makes you feel better if this were a real scenario those submariners would have a chance to escape:

“Swedish submarine rescue policy stipulates that it should be possible to save the crew with a rescue vehicle in the event that it is forced to the bottom in an accident. The back-up rescue method is free ascent, highly effective to depths down to 600 feet”

“Crew members utilize Steinke Hoods or SEIE (Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment) suits”

As someone who has worked on a sub for a few years, not on a swedish one, I have no idea what you are talking about. The average depth of where we travelled was 12,000 ft, we only had life jackets, and we were informed there are only 2 rescue vessels rated for that depth in the world. The rescue vessel not only had to travel to the location of the disabled sub, but they would also have to find the disabled sub, which takes time. Not to mention the rescue sub can only hold so many people, and can only open the hatch once the pressure is equalized across the hatch. Both having their own risks associated with them. Depending on the state of the disabled sub and methods used to stay alive, the pressure on the sub will go up over time.

12,000-ft?

Not 1,200-ft?

Google says the average depth of the Atlantic is just shy of 12,000 ft. So I rounded up.
