Depths are deep places in Subnautica.
Basics
The majority of the depths is covered by grassy plateus but they are many other Biomes, some of them are rare and other ones are very dangerous...
Deepest?
The Cyclops submarine can only go to the depth of 200 meters before starting to crush. There is a warning at 100 meters by the on board AI. But the Seamoth is a small compact sub built for speed and deep diving. The Seamoth is also somewhat fragile and uses up a lot of energy quickly. Its deepest depth is currently unknown.

Developer
According to the Steam Forum[1] one of the developers mentioned the deepest anyone can go is 2000 meters. (Feb 21) Although, there are some screenshots of deeper depths... they all ended with a crash of the game.
