With these wings they are probably using negative hydrodynamic lift to stay underwater?

If that's the plan the current design looks far too rigid, they'd need to adjust their cruising speed based on payload to ensure consistent depth keeping. How would they lurk without floating up?

Well – they'd have to lurk like loitering munition – cruising.

I think it looks far more like an ekranoplane than a submersible craft. The 10 passenger + 1 pilot capacity is interesting in that context: according to the source of all wisdom and knowledge, the international rules for ground effect vehicles apply only to crafts carrying 12 passengers and more.
