I read an article today where a researcher disagreed with the "immediate death theory". He or she stated that given the pressure wave they experienced, it was likely that they suffered from blast lung, or pressure damage and bleeding in the lung. It went on to point out that this is fatal, but not immediately. If this is true it would explain how they were able to signal. They surfaced, gave the signal, submerged and succumbed to their injuries while below.
