At the end of the film the US naval personnel enter Cargo Hold No. 9 and find the safe which is supposed to contain the Byzanium, only to discover that the safe only contains boxes of gravel. The safe is fully intact and someone announces that it is "water-tight" (which is convenient no doubt). Never the less, a water-tight safe at 12,000 feet down in the Ocean would have been crushed like an empty beer can. Subs that operate at that depth (like Alvin) have spherical hulls specially designed with 3 inches of seamless titanium. The safe we see in the movie is a steel box whose door is braced only with a small piece of angle iron. The safe could only have survived if water entered it in order to equalize the pressure. If the safe was indeed water-tight, it would have imploded as the ship sank.
