The tallest mountain on the planet is not Mt. Everest, which is only 29 028 ft/8848 m high! The tallest mountain in the world is actually Mauna Kea, in Hawaii, which is closer to 31 000 ft/
9449 m high.
You just can't see the two-thirds of the mountain that is under water.

Measured from the sea-floor, I believe the Mauna Kea volcano on the island of Hawaii is over 30,000 feet tall.

"Hawaii's Mauna Kea, though, rises an astonishing 33,476 feet (10,203 meters) from the depths of the Pacific Ocean floor. Measuring from base to peak, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain on earth."

There is one off the SE coast of Hawaii. It is below sea level now, but it won't be for much longer and it is very high.

I don't know the exact name, but know that there is a mountain range in the sea longer then the Himalyas, the rockies and the andes combined. maybe it's in there. (the Hawian islands are part of this range.
