Submerged to half-way up one's legs (4-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knee-deep

(Other definitions for knee-deep that I've seen before include "Immersed up to the patella" , "Deeply involved (in something)" , "Coming half way up the leg" , "Heavily involved - up to leg joints?" , "Thoroughly involved (in)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
