Fascinating, I now wonder if a hull could be be shaped and designed to be replant or at least mitigate the suction forces.
I do know that boats/ships are more buoyant in shall water verses deep water. In fact it's pretty much a mystery why very deep water is less buoyant.
This suction thing must be something which happens at very close proximity.
