They have seven ways to get to the surface even in the event of a complete power failure. Given that they haven't found it on the surface, it might have gotten snagged on something. which means that they can't drop weights or inflate balloons.
They have no food and no water outside of what the passengers bought with them.
the nightmare scenario, is even a pinhole in the pressure hull will kill everyone and sink the boat.

If you missed my earlier post, this video from when CBS news went on an expedition with them last year shows a lot more about how this sub works.

Starting at 3:30 is where they show the Camper World bits, game controller, and ballast made of construction pipes. Interestingly they didn't talk about all the other redundant safety features in this original video.
