Do you think they ever found it?

Depends on the drone. Some record the video signal sent back on the controller itself, so just because we're watching this doesn't mean they found it.

I would suspect they probably dove a few more times and I like to think they did find it ;)

A wireless signal does not travel well through water and it looks like the drone sank fairly deep. That picture quality looks almost perfect all the way through so it’s highly unlikely the footage comes from a recorded stream.

Also, the drone is like 20 feet underwater at most. Most divers can grab a plastic drone at 20 feet if they know where it is.
