Near? That can mean anywhere from 1500-1999. But anyway, if they use HY-130, they have a chance for a ~3000 foot crush depth just like the Akulas (corresponding to the 600m test). The British use about 1.75 as their safety factor IIRC, so that translates to 1715 feet of test depth.

The Alfa, Mike and Sierra classes could go damn deep but in the Alfas case it was damn noisey,

It wasn't like it would have been less noisy if it hadn't dove as deep.
