bottom of the sea
Deepest underwater terrain
The bottom of the sea is the ocean floor—the solid surface beneath all that water.
The phrase often suggests depth, mystery, or finality: The ship sank to the bottom of the sea.
Treasures, shipwrecks, and secrets are said to rest there.
Davy Jones's locker is sailor slang for the same place.
