As long as you can keep moving a bike will go through some pretty deep stuff.

Glad he was able to safely self extricate himself.  Where'd the DRZ end up? The next county downstream?

It was not the depth but the current that wiped him out.

The airbox is right below the seat so that's a good baseline, though I believe that if you keep up some speed the front of the bike should create a bow wave that lets you go through something a bit deeper.
