It kind of depends on your definition of deepest cave :) It is usually taken to mean the greatest vertical distance from the cave mouth to its deepest explored point, so the deepest caves actually start pretty high up to begin with. The deepest known cave is Krubera in Georgia at over 2kms deep. It doesn't extend below sea level. However there may be other caves that are deeper, but not explored, and Krubera may well extend to below sea level, we just haven't found a way to get down that far (the limestone massif it is situated in extends below sea level and there have been tests releasing dye into the cave- the dye came out offshore in the black sea I believe).

There are plenty of caves that do extend below sea level- all sea caves will have done so at some point.
