      Hi Sam, that would be Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench. It is almost 11 km below sea level and about if you put Mount Everest into it, the top of mountain would still be 2 km below the sea surface. Most of the Marianas Trench is only about 8 km deep, but that’s already way deeper than most ocean basins which are about 5 km deep
