1498 x 0.9 = 1348.2 meters...
Remember, the sonar signal has to make a round trip, down and up before it can be detected. So the actual depth is one half of the time that it takes the signal to make the round trip!

1498 * 1.8 / 2 = 1348.2 meters.
Well silly me, I should have looked at the other answers before answering. Oh well, we all agree it is 1348.2, so it must be right!
