I have a hard time imagining sauropods submerging themselves in*anything*. Sucking breath through those long necks would have been hardenough at the best of times. Having additional pressure around the lungswouldn't have improved things.

Out of curiousity I did some casual seaching for long necked giraffes indeep water. Didn't find any, and it seems they can't swim (so they'd probably

stay out of those situations).
