I'm sure I've rested my boat on the bottom before with no ill effects. Just stop your engines and set depth, so you don't plough into the sea bed. You shouldn't crushed, unless the sea bed is too deep of course!
Right. Bottoming the boat with forward motion (any kind of motion) or with a lot of vertical speed will cause a huge a amount of damage.

Try stopping the boat. hover just a couple of feet about the bottom and then settle it down.
