How Deep Under the Sea Have Humans Gone. Almost 7 miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean lies the worldâs deepest point, the Challenger Deep. Has anyone ever ventured there? The Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific near Guam, lies at a depth of 35,840 feet and could easily hold the 29,029-foot Mount Everest. The Deep was discovered in 1875, and people have been attempting to precisely measure its depth ever since.
The average depth of the ocean is about 12,100 feet. The deepest part of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep and is located beneath the western Pacific Ocean in the southern end of the Mariana Trench, which runs several hundred kilometers southwest of the U.S. territorial island of Guam. Challenger Deep is approximately 36,200 feet deep.
