Why the chuff would you use 37.5 kilohertz for something designed to be found long way away underwater?

I've seen this discussed at length on scuba boards

But theoretical crush depths are one thing, uniform pressure is another.
At the depth of 3 miles, the bodies would look fairly undamaged.

I can't accept that a human body at 3 miles down would look the same.

The skull cannot withstand that sort of pressure. The rib cage is designed to protect two large air sacs.

Take a belt and wrap it around an arm or leg then pull. Doesn't the belt constrict or does the limb remain the same?

There's also the factor of how fast the plane was going and the angle of it when it hit the water. A heavy impact is going to tear the plane apart and whatever's inside it isn't going to fare too well.
