I think they can't even send it un-manned because it is not externally controllable. From what I understood in footage of a previous "mission", all is operated on board and there is nothing the ship crew can do appart from communicating (when it still works).

...well... Then clearly they should have put more time into the control system to allow for remote control from a submerged audio relay?

We've got more than enough ways to rig up signalling networks that there is zero reason for any submersible to not be remotely tested to crush depth.
