what is the deepest sea trench in the Atlantic Ocean

The deepest spot you're looking for in the Atlantic is the Puerto Rico Trench. It’s sitting right there near the island of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. I’ve sailed through those waters plenty of times and it’s wild to think about what’s lurking down there in the Milwaukee Deep, which is the absolute lowest point.

That spot hits a depth of roughly 8,376 meters. When you're out there on the water, you don't really feel the scale of it until you look at the charts, but it's massive compared to the surrounding seabed. It’s definitely not a place you'd want to drop an anchor, that's for sure. Stay curious!
