It's mostly just an inflated kevlar bag with some valves.
It's easy to build one of something. Especially when the engineers building on of something usually build several of 1,500,000kg rockets.
Of course an "emergency cave submarine pod" built to specs would have been ideal but emergency situations require emergency measures.
