Explosive decompression is almost instantaneous at that depth. They wouldn't have had a chance to even blink.

Implosive compression?

Wouldn't it have happened so fast that they never even registered the pain of being crushed? Like, the signal from the body never even reached the brain, it was so fast.

So fast they'd not even be able to register what was happening. Not a bad way to go.
