Doesn't the sub have 96 hours of air or something?

As an emergency supply, yes. However, it is unclear how much of it is left. People/news quote hour estimations, but it is anyone's guess really. People in panic consume more oxygen. Additionally, it is still unclear what happened. For example, if they had a leak, they will probably have different problems than oxygen.

Let's just hope that they manage to find them, at least in those 96 hours.

If they had a leak their problems are over given the pressures involved.

If they are not on the surface finding them is not the hardest part...
