If they can pick up its signal through all that water, how accurately would they be able to pinpoint it's exact location under all that water? Probobly not very well.

It's a HUGE deal to even get equipment down to that kind of depth, in one specific location, never mind searching the thousands of square kilometres that it could be in.
