Shouldn't be deep at all. The Yellow Sea is pretty shallow in general, iirc the mean depth being around 40-50 meters and the deepest parts between 150 and 200 meters. I haven't seen the precise coordinates of the sinking site being published, but for example this BBC article says the water in the general area is pretty shallow. I've also seen other articles say the Koreans are prepering to send divers down to the wreck, so no doubt we'll soon learn what exactly happened.
