The most puzzling aspect, from what I understand from the experts, if it imploded at time and depth you are suggesting it would have been very likely to be registered by at least the controlling ship due to the noise. As you highlighted the sub is pretty large, imploding in a millisecond causes huge effects in the surroundings.
So saying it got lost and imploded after a few days solves two problems. Explains why there was no implosion noise originally, and that the banging heard afterwards was the implosion. Also it has a history of losing contact in its previous tours.

In one of the episodes, they talk to navigators, who explain that submarines can be invisible to sensors in certain locations because the ocean water is not uniform. Temperature, currents and salinity vary, so a sound could be attenuated in some directions.

They would be looking at a device that was communicating via SMS or some radar screen at best. > and that the banging heard afterwards was the implosion Every 30 min?
