No sea or ocean can claim to be uniformly the deepest, as they all have great depths and quite shallow parts, and vary enormously. However, the deepest part of the ocean is the Challenger Deep, which is a part of the Marianas Trench which lies East of the island of Guam in the Pacific Ocean- it is 7 miles deep, and was first reached the bottom of in 1960 by the Swiss crew of the bathyscaphe 'Trieste'. The shallowest sea is generally held to be the Sea of Azov, which only has a maximum depth of 45ft, with much of it being below head height, so it would be possible to walk across parts of it! It is a Northern extension of The Black Sea in Eastern Europe, being bordered by Ukraine to the North, Russia to the East, and the Crimean Peninsula to the West.
