[(8 * 60) + 37] * 25 ft
This is not a submarine but a research submersible. Submarines do not go much deeper than a couple of boat lengths.
8 * 60 + 37 = 517 seconds
517 seconds * 25 ft/s = 12,925 feet
Although that is far deeper than a submarine dives, it is less than half as deep as the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean (about 36,000 ft). Google Mariana trench. Manned submersibles have been there.
