The article said they found them in ~260 ft of water. Assuming they dove to that depth and weren’t carried down by currents, that’s quite deep for scuba equipment, isn’t it?

VERY deep. You actually have to use a special air mixture to go much below 100 feet. (I went 110 feet with a “normal” tank, and even that was probably pushing it a little.) Other factors are involved, for example your weighting, buoyancy compensator, etc.

Deep dives over about 100 feet are dangerous enough. Deep cave dives are basically borderline suicide.
