1. deep sea fishing is fishing in the sea where its deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
2. Although technically a "sea" is a large expanse of saline water connected with an ocean, the term is usually used as a synonym for an ocean. Some bodies of water that are called "seas" are not actually seas and some seas are not called "seas".
