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 expedition also discovered the ocean's deepest point. South of Japan, there is a crescent-shaped canyon called the Mariana Trench, and at its southern end the sea bed seemingly falls away. In 1875 Thomson and his team recorded a depth of 4,475 fathoms (8,184 m). Now we know it goes at least 10,916m down.f he's right, there are no fish at the bottom of the Challenger Deep. But there's plenty more than fish in the sea. Despite the lethal conditions, James Cameron's dive revealed a plethora of animals at the bottom of the ocean.
