No deformation of metal would occur at any depth unless the metal surrounds an air pocket.

Free divers descend to about 100 metres on one breath.
Quite how thise free divers stay alive is well beyond me. At roughly 70 m water pressure is about 8 bar/115 pounds per square inch. One can presume that as the aircraft sank air would be trapped inside and as it is released and water pressure increases the metalwork would bend somewhat.
