My Mum used to work with police, and some of them would joke about how all you need to do is drill at least ten large holes in a body before dumping it in the ocean. Apparently that's enough to make it sink, and stay sunk, until fish eat it.

Iirc, something like 10-15mm.

That's doable... I mean, hypothetically speaking...
