Hopefully this isn't a result of the refurbishment the Argentines did a few years ago that involved cutting the San Juan in half.  It'll be interesting to see if the Argentines finally complete the Santa Fe when they replace it.  Even if they manage to save the sailors aboard the San Juan, I don't see them being able to raise and repair the sub.

Apparently the sub exploded few hours after it went missing

Yeah, this doesn't sound like a situation where any of them are still alive.

Argentina called off the search a few days ago. http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/30/americas/argentina-submarine/index.html

Terrible situation. You can still get to the sub but it would depend on depth. If at crush depth, it really would be a situation that you would have to leave it at the bottom unless you tether it and bring it back up which is extremely complicated. The US Navy is helping with the search efforts https://news.usni.org/2017/12/01/u-s-navy-sends-deep-dive-unmanned-recovery-vehicle-search-argentine-sub

Shades of the Thresher incident.
