Everybody gets all excited about the max depth of this or that. Any dummy can take a CCR or OC to any fool depth that they want to. That is the easy part, getting your butt back up alive is where the problems generally are. The most important part of these dives is proper planning.
Back when I was serving on submarines, the standard answer to "How deep can you go?" was "All the way to the bottom."
The USS Thresher and USS Scorpion made the point as they were recent at that time.

Is it possible for them to deploy out of the sub at around 1000ft and make a rapid ascent to their target? I would imagine automatic deco, but for how long?
You just bring the sub up to the depth you need for the mission, then they deploy. If they have a mission at 1000', trust me, you don't want to know what they are doing.
