There are almost certainly animals in the ocean that have never been discovered, since we are still discovering new animals on land.\n\nAs far as depth is concerned:\n\nAverage Depth: 12,200 feet (3,720 m).\n\nDeepest point: 36,198 feet (11,033 m) in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific.

The Paific ocean\nThe deepest part of the ocean was first pinpointed in 1951 by HM Survey Ship Challenger in the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean. On January 23, 1960, the US Navy Trieste vessel descended to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and on March 24, 1995, the Japanese probe Kaiko recorded a depth of 10,911 m (35,797 ft), the most accurate measurement yet taken.\nhttp://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=47619\nThe Pacific Ocean (from the Latin name Mare Pacificum, "peaceful sea", bestowed upon it by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan) is the world's largest body of water. It encompasses a third of the Earth's surface, having an area of 179.7 million square kilometres (69.4 million sq miles). Extending approximately 15,500 kilometres (9,600 miles) from the Bering Sea in the Arctic to the icy margins of Antarctica's Ross Sea in the south (although the Antarctic regions of the Pacific are sometimes described as part of the circumpolar Southern Ocean) the Pacific reaches its greatest east-west width at about 5°N latitude, where it stretches approximately 19,800 kilometres (12,300 miles) from Indonesia to the coast of Colombia. The western limit of the ocean is often placed at the Strait of Malacca. The lowest point on earth—the Mariana Trench—lies some 10,911 metres (35,797 ft) below sea level.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_ocean

They didn't know.\n\nPrior to SONAR, there was little available in the way of mapping the deep ocean. Beyond the continental shelves and the areas around islands, the ocean was simply known as ocean deep without knowing exactly how deep that was.  SONAR and RADAR allowed for mapping and discovery of the trenches and ridges on the deep ocean floor.

the land masses do not float on the sea rather the seas fill up the low lying areas of the earths crust so when you dive to the bottom of the sea you will hit the earths crust(after going through various layers of mud and organic matter. the deepest-known part of the ocean measures 10,924 meters (35,839 feet), in the Marianas Trench, i think i'm right in saying that we have dived down to around 7000m (7km).\nOnce you hit the crust (sea floor) and keep going you would then go through the earths various layers (not possible!) and eventually come out the other side!

Deep End of the Ocean??? it sounds similar to that

If you removed all the sponges, you would remove some of the mass in the ocean displacing water. So in fact, the ocean would not be deeper, but shallower. \n\nI will leave it to the reader to estimate the reduced depth after sponge removal.

The deepest place is near the Mariana Islands in the Pacific. The water is over 36,000 feet deep in the Mariana Trench. That's over 7 miles deep. Mount Everest is only 6 miles high!

Somebody asked a very similar question awhile back: how much would sea level rise if all humans on earth were submerged in the oceans.  The answer was something like .17".  So "less than an inch" would be my guesstimation to answer your question.

The average depth of the oceans is about five times the average elevation of the land. In general, the continents stand about three miles above the ocean floor. According to the National Geographic Atlas, the deepest-known part of the ocean measures [10,924] meters (35,839 feet), in the Marianas Trench near Guam. If the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest (29,141 feet), were to be placed into this trench, it would be covered by over 1.25 miles of water.

"The Mariana Trench (or Marianas Trench) is the deepest known submarine trench, and the deepest location in the Earth's crust itself. It is located in the floor of the western North Pacific Ocean, to the east of the Mariana Islands at 11°21′N 142°12′E, which is near Guam. The trench is the boundary where two tectonic plates meet, a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is being subducted under the Philippine Plate. The bottom of the trench is further below sea level than Mount Everest is above sea level.\n\nThe trench has a maximum depth of 10,911 m (35,798 feet) below sea level. Taking into account its latitude and the Earth's equatorial bulge, this puts it at 6,366.4 km from the centre of the Earth. The Arctic Ocean, on the other hand, is 4-4.5 km deep, which would put its floor at ~6,352.8 km from the Earth's centre, 13.6 km closer."

The deepest point in the ocean is the Mariana Trench located in the Pacific Ocean near the Northern Mariana Islands. It has a maximum depth of  (35,838 ft) It was fully surveyed in 1951 by the British naval vessel, "Challenger II" which gave its name to the deepest part of the trench, the "Challenger Deep".Much of the bottom of the world's oceans is unexplored and unmapped. A global image of many underwater features larger than 10 km was created in 1995 based on gravitational distortions of the nearby sea surface.

not that deep... There really is not that much moisture up there.  I would probably say 1-2 feet

Smallest Ocean:\n\nThe Arctic Ocean, with an area of 9,485,000 sq km (3,662,000 sq miles), is the smallest ocean. It has a maximum depth of 5,450 m (17,880 ft). The Arctic Ocean is not completely enclosed by land, however, and so is sometimes referred to as an arm of the Atlantic. It is also connected to the waters of the Pacific Ocean by the Bering Strait.\n\nThe Arctic Ocean is ten times smaller than the Pacific Ocean, and has about 1.5 times the surface area of the United States. It is the smallest of the four oceans, and is almost completely surrounded by land at the top of the globe.

WHOI (Woods Hole Institute of Oceanography) has posted some bathymetry maps showing the highest points to be around 2500 meters (8366 feet) deep. However, the East Pacific Rise is a large area, so it is difficult to answer your question with much more than just an example. The base of the features on their maps is about 3000 meters (9842 feet). You can see the maps at:

How deep is the deepest part of the ocean? Does anything live down there? \n\nWe didn't have to dig very deep to find the answer to this one. We simply typed "deepest part of the ocean" into Yahoo! and uncovered several web pages that answered your question. \nOur first stop was ScienceNet, a British web site that purports to be a one-stop science site. We couldn't dispute that claim after they provided us with the facts of the matter: The Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean is 11,033 meters (36,201 feet) below sea level. If Mount Everest were placed inside of this trench, it would disappear. \n\nWe headed back to the search results and saw something that looked very familiar -- our friend Earl, the answer man at Yahooligans!. Turns out Earl had answered the question some time ago and agreed with our earlier finding. He also offered a couple of links to more information on the trench. At Oceanclopedia, we learned that the deepest part of the trench is named Vitjazdepth. The trench was formed when the Pacific plate collided with the Philippine plate, which also resulted in the formation of the nearby island Guam. \n\nTo find out if anything actually lives down there, we swam over to Earth & Sky, a companion site to the popular science radio series. We discovered that plants can't live at such depths because they need sunlight for photosynthesis -- light doesn't penetrate such depths. However, recent photographs from unmanned craft show shrimp-like crustaceans, sea cucumbers, and marine worms. In addition, bacteria flourish on the muddy floors of the trenche
