I've had a high pressure seat go. I did a giant stride off the boat, sunk down about a metre, and when I bobbed back to the surface I was surrounded by a lot of bubbles. In my experience, it's more like to happen right at the start which is comforting.

I'd be more worried about impact damage in an overhead environment than anything else.
