Define ocean basin?
Hydrologically, an oceanic basin may be anywhere on Earth that is covered by seawater, but geologicallyocean basins are large geologic basins that are below sea level. Geologically, there are other underseageomorphological features such as the continental shelves, the deep ocean trenches, and the underseamountain ranges (for example, the mid-Atlantic ridge) which are not considered to be part of the ocean basins; while hydrologically, oceanic basins include the flanking continental shelves and shallow, epeiric seas.

Why is the sea level in the Atlantic and pacific different?
Sea level is about 20 cm higher on the Pacific side than the Atlantic due to the water being less dense on average on the Pacific side and due to the prevailing weather and ocean conditions. Such sea level differences are common across many short sections of land dividing ocean basins.

Drainage basins are separated from each other by an area of higher ground called a drainage divide. North America has 5 large Continental Divides that separate the drainage basins of the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic Oceans, Hudson Bay, the Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico.
