  1. deep water

    Deep water generally refers to a large body of water where the depth is such that surface characteristics such as waves and currents have no significant impact. This term is often used in the context of oceans, seas, and large lakes, where the depth is too great for light to penetrate, inhibiting the growth of photosynthetic organisms. The specific depth constituting "deep water" can vary based on context, but it is usually considered at depths greater than about 200 meters (656 feet).
