Shipwreck search yields surprise discovery: Underwater volcano of asphalt | khou.com Houston

"At first, they thought it must have been a man-made object. But as their underwater cameras beamed back pictures of the blackened structure and the creatures thriving around it, they came to the conclusion it was essentially a solidified eruption from an underwater volcano of asphalt."

Was this a dormant or dead volcano or is it in the active category?

Dormant.

an asphalt volcano?

An asphalt volcano is a rare type of submarine volcano (seamount) first discovered in 2003. Several examples have been found: first, along the coasts of America and Mexico, and then in other regions of the world; a few are still active.[1] Resembling seamounts in structure, they are made entirely of asphalt, and form when natural oil seeps up from the Earth's crust underwater.
