If you have a programmable radio that runs opentx like a taranis or tx16 with telemetry or your running a RC system that does RSSI servo output then you can make this work.
Essentially what we can do is set one of the radio channels to change based on the signal strength of the radio, so as the sub dives the signal will be attenuated by the water, changing the rssi, therefore changing the servo position so that it starts to move the dive controls to level the sub out where the signal strong enough for control but still underwater.
Because its using the radio its self to set the max depth you should never loose signal since as soon as it gets too low it will immediately start to reduce its depth to increase the radio signal. you can also mix it with your normal diving controls as a backup.
this would actually work better with 2.4ghz as it should run just below the surface because the signal is attenuated so much.
