I know that the discoverers want to keep it hidden as a gravesite but I wonder if it could actually be raised since it is in such good condition.

Sure.

It would be expensive to raise and expensive to preserve, but it can be done and such a task has been done, for example, in the case of the Swedish 17th Century warship Vasa that was well preserved in the cold brackish waters of the Baltic.
