Its average depth is 4,637 meters (2.8 miles). It is home to the deepest known point in the ocean - the Mariana Trench off Guam - which plunges to a depth of about 10,924 meters (nearly 7 miles). Because of the depth of the Pacific Ocean, tsunamis (huge waves created by earthquakes) can reach speeds of 750 kilometers an hour, the same velocity as a jet airplane.
Well recently a submarine plunged down and measured and the new depth is 12,999 meters deep.
The deepest point in the ocean is generally believed to be in the Marianas Trench in the Western Pacific Ocean at approximately 36,160 feet (11,021 m), according to the Rand McNally Atlas(1977).
The deepest point on the Earth's surface is Challenger Deep, part of the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean
The deepest spot in the ocean is the Mariana Trench, located in the western Pacific Ocean. The Challenger Deep within the trench is the deepest part, reaching a depth of about 36,000 feet (10,972 meters).
The deepest part is Challenger Deep in the Marianna's Trench in the Pacific Ocean, near Guam.
Mariana's Trench, the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean, is around 35,000 feet deep. That is nearly 7 miles.

The deepest part of the Pacific Oceans is located at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. It is called Challenger Deep and measures 36,070 feet (10,994 meters) deep.

They are caught in the deepest part of the pacific ocean around 2000m deep.
This point is Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, Pacific Ocean (10 911 +/- 40 m after the latest measurements).
