According to the radio, looks like the British ROV cut them loose...  They're on the way up.

Good news, i hadn't realised we were directly involved in the rescue.  When they said we were helping i assumed they had just asked for some advice or something.

воскресенье в 7:25 мск по московскому времени затонувший батискаф всплыл на поверхность у борта судна "Алагез". Тросы, в которых он запутался, перерезал британский беспилотный спасательный аппарат Scorpio, сообщил заместитель начальника главного штаба ВМФ РФ Владимир Пепеляев.

По его словам, все 7 членов экипажа батискафа живы. Моряки самостоятельно вышли из аппарата. Их самочувствие нормальное. Подводники будут доставлены в госпиталь Петрапавловска-Камчатского.

Hangtime, here it is translated:
PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, RUSSIA - Seven submarine crew members trapped for nearly three days under the Pacific Ocean were rescued Sunday after a British remote-controlled vehicle cut away the undersea cables that had snarled the vessel. (Drink more Vodka, comrade)

The seven crew members, whose oxygen supplies had been dwindling amid underwater temperatures in the mid-40s, appeared to be in satisfactory condition, naval spokesman Capt. Igor Dygalo said. The seven were being examined by ship medics, he said. (Drink more Vodka, comrade)


The sub surfaced late Sunday afternoon, some three days after becoming stranded in 600 feet of water off the Pacific Coast on Thursday.(Drink more Vodka, comrade)
 

"The rescue operation has ended," Rear Adm. Vladimir Pepelyayev, deputy head of the navy's general staff, said in televised comments. (Drink more Vodka, comrade)

Heck for the last 2 years they have kept the space station supplied.  If our shuttle keeps falling apart we may need to borrow a few Rockets !
