In the grand scheme of things, very shallow. Easily within reach of conventional surface-supplied divers using mixed gas.

Most of the worlds oceans are so deep that ROVs would be the only practical way to reach the bottom to do work.

Yes, TWA was in the same depth range, that allowed navy divers to recover most of the wreckage.
