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.
Confidence votes 66. Its average depth is 4,637 meters (2.8 miles). It is home to the deepest known point in the ocean-the Mariana Trench off Guam-which plunges to a depth of about 10,924 meters (nearly 7 miles).Because of the depth of the Pacific Ocean, tsunamis (huge waves created by earthquakes) can reach speeds of 750 kilometers an hour, the same velocity as a jet airplane.eal Deep ;)  Actually, it can get to 35,838 feet. That's how deep Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench off the Marianas Island in the Pacific Ocean gets. The U.S. Navy su â¦ bmersible Trieste reached it in 1960. That's about a mile deeper than Mount Everest is high.
