I’m not sure this “accident” is what seems. The first red flag was the Santa Barbara County Sherrif didn’t perform autopsies. This made no sense given the FBI claimed it would pursue a “seaman’s manslaughter” case. Who goes to trial in a murder case without autopsies? In regard to the new rules, we don’t really know what happened: was it asphyxiation or drowning?
It’s important to understand there is a-lot of military presence in this area including Vandenberg Space Force Base and NAS Pt. Mugu, and this is within the US Navy’s Pacific Missile Test Range. Back in the 70’s, the US was rumored to have covertly installed a number of underwater missile silos as part of “Operation Desktop” – basically launching SLBM’s from the seafloor without the submarine. These were installed with ships similar to the Glomar Explorer – drilling ships disguised as salvage ships.
The dive boat “salvage operation” was quite protracted – the type of thing I would expect if they were creating a cover story for doing something military on the seafloor.
