I believe at a certain depth some things compress, density increases, buoyancy becomes negative - and they sink.

They have locator beacons size of a thermos (that ping powerfully using particular frequencies) which they fit on flights etc... i believe some can be received a couple miles+ down in good conditions like are seeing now.

But clearly not everything sinks, or the sub would never be able to surface. If it's just a matter of engineering work, that's kind of literally their job.
