A stainless steel fork from my drawer would last 100 years 100 feet down. I don't see why a flight recorder would be toast after 2 years in the ocean no matter the depth unless it was so deep that hydrostatic pressure crushes it.
These things are built to survive plane crashes, to be recovered in deep oceans, survive hundreds of g forces and crushing damage, and even survive 3500° of heat.
