The drysuit was not flooded. The vent *may* have been open which *may* have caused it to vent unintentionally during an ascent. It has also not been established that she tried to make an ascent. That idea may have come from a theory I suggested early on in the thread.
When the rescuers cut open the drysuit to apply the AED the undergarment and her chest were dry.
