I read it does not have an emergency docking adapter, also it may be too deep to use any emergency equipment. Looks bad.

Doesn't need an adapter its the rescue vessel that needs the skirt if its going to dock, and that's something LR5 will most certainly have.
The boat is west German designed so its up to NATO standard for sure, even the Russian hatches can work with Western DSRV's (and have)
My fear is if she is down in 700m of water and in one piece that to me says it all, she is flooded right through, the 209 I don't believe could survive that depth intact.
