All you need to do in space to avoid dying in vacuum if your pressure vessel fails is wear a pressure suit. If your pressure vessel fails in the deep ocean the only upside is you'll probably never even be aware of it happening.

Plus you need cooling or heating, you need to be able to breath, you are exposed to a lot more radiation than is healthy for you. All of those are deadly, but not as sudden as being crushed to death in an instant like you would at the bottom of the ocean.
