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 and south of the Mariana Islands at 11°21′N 142°12′E, near Guam, south of Japan. It is 10,911 meters below sea level.

Deepest Spot in the Ocean
The deepest spot in the ocean is called the Mariana Trench and is approximately 35, 797 ft (10,911 m) deep in the Pacific Ocean. That's deeper than the height of the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, which is 29,035 ft (8,850 m) high.

The deepest spot anywhere any Earth is found in the Mariana Trench, in the Pacific Ocean :

However, you asked about the deepest sea, so the correct answer to your question would be the Caribean Sea, at 22788 ft deep. :

If your question is specifically about the deepest SEA, then it's The Caribbean Sea (22,788 ft) (6,946 meters). This is followed by The South China Sea (16,456 ft) (5,016 meters)
