Water can only be as deep as the container it is in. On earth the deepest it can be would be measured at the deepest point in the Ocean. That point is the Mariana Trench, which is almost 36,000 ft (6.8 miles) deep. However, this is not a limit of the water. Only a limit of the earth.
Would it be easy for human to explore the ocean?
Unfortunately at the moment no. More people have been in space and have walked on the Moon, then have been to the deepest parts of the Oceans. Why is this you ask, the answer is very simple, Pressure, the deep you go in the ocean the high the pressure gets. In the deepest parts of the Ocean, the pressure down there is a staggering 15,966 pounds (7.24 metric tonnes) per square inch, or roughly 1,086 times the pressure we live with at sea level. The Temperature down there is 27°F (-3°C), it is kept liquid by the amount of pressure from all the water above. You have to have specially made submersibles to get down that deep, and at the moment there are only robotic craft that can go that deep.
