Like terminal velocity of an object falling in the air, is there the same said type terminal velocity for objects sinking in water? If so, how deep would an object have to be sinking in order to reach the speed? Does the weight of the object in water affect the speed as well?

No simple answer here. Make it heavier and more streamlined and it’ll sink faster. A smooth tungsten rod with fins would have a frighteningly high terminal velocity even in water. But any given object will approach a terminal velocity in water the same way it does in air.
