Passive sonar is just your hydrophones - just listening (as opposed to active sonar where you emit a high energy pulse and listen for it's echo's off objects in its path).
At first, all you have is SD Radar - it is an air warning radar and it is non-interactive. It's just always on when you are surfaced and will alert you of any air threats. later, SJ, or surface search radar will become available as an upgrade (and will cost you some renown points) and that is interactive via the radar station.
How deep depends on the underlying water depth and the type of boat. My current career I started in a Sargo class out of Manila. Sargo's are good to 250ft, and I took mine to 300ft once with no damage. I'm now in a Balao class, and have gone to 500ft without harm.
