In a shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean containing air pockets, would you die from jumping in the water due to water pressure?

I’ve attached an image here, to further illustrate the scenario. Imagine that the wreck is at the bottom of the Marianas trench, 10km underwater.

Would jumping into the water kill you from the pressure? Or would it only kill you if you swam to where there is no cover on the right side of the wreckage?

There is that one guy who was found in a ship wreck. With the boat upside down and he was in a big air pocket for weeks. And I think they had to put him in a air bell on the way up. So his body would get used to normal air pressure. Because of him being at that depth for so long. I just can not remember what the event was called. Like the name of the ship wreck.
