bottom of the ocean
The deep below
The bottom of the ocean is the seafloor, the lowest surface beneath ocean waters.
It encompasses everything from continental shelves near coastlines to the deepest trenches, like the Mariana Trench.
The phrase often evokes inaccessibility or finality: The ship sank to the bottom of the ocean.
Figuratively, it can suggest something lost, hidden, or irretrievable: That secret will stay at the bottom of the ocean.
