Just a quick note on top of Eliot’s precious comments. You can do positioning with only IMUs generally but the IMUs you need to be looking for are starting at least 20 times of a Pixhawk in price and much bigger in size. So in theory possible but with the current ArduSub ecosystem not.  
Resources are vastly available to search for it.
