We don't know what's down there
If anyone has desire, you can certainly at least superficially to know the seabed, put on scuba gear and walk a little in the deep sea.To feed the fish and watch them.

To feed the fish and watch them.
Anyone ever think about prehistoric animals still living on the ocean floor? I know the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid, but wouldn't it be conceivable that the animals deep, deep, on the ocean floor were able to survive, being so far down and all?
Yes. Mammals survived and they lived on the surface.
I don`t think so. Because on the floor of the ocean there is no need to solve abstract complexe problems which is the reason for nature to evolve this kind of intelligence.
Down there is no light, all the animals there are carnivores.
What animals need there is a big mouth with lots of teeth.
Also a big brain is a problem down there, because it needs a lot of energy and there isn`t energy easy to get.

Some questions, make me wonder... 
NO there is no intelligent life in the ocean because intelligent life on earth is very rare thing

LOL this got me good. Are any of you marine biologists? I've always wanted to talk to one about this.
This is a funny anecdote if you have the time to watch it. The American television situational comedy titled Seinfeld once did a funny bit about a character posing as a marine biologist. His name is George and he is a bumbling fool, constantly lying, cheating, scamming his way through life, and offending everybody in his path:

Watch the movie lucy. It will explain that dolphin's brain usage capacity is better than humans.

First we need to defeat our ego. We evaluate creatures according to our intelligence level. We are not intelligent. We think we are. We humans are the ony species that ruined this beautiful world and made it like a hell. And we think cats are idiots because they can't write articles.
Any species that reproduces indiscriminately will ruin any planet.
It's not our technology that ruined earth - it was the sheer number of us.

Something I've been working over the last few years: isn't it entirely possible that there is intelligent life on the floor of the ocean?
Of course it's entirely possible there is intelligent life on the floor of the ocean - but you need to define intelligent.
We don't know what's down there because we haven't explored the majority of it, like you said.
I believe there is no intelligent life living under sea but it is very much possible to find them on farther planets in deep space. What is interesting in ocean floor is there might still have ancient creatures still living there, large animals that are related to dinosaurs.

Feels like every time there's a major hurricane (or major bodies of water get stirred up), there's a strange new variation of a well-known species of marine life. New colors, new body features, etc. We've only explored ~6% of the ocean floor, and it feels like the deeper we get (or the more is brought to the surface), the more complex this marine life is.
Isn't it entirely possible that we're looking the wrong places for intelligent life? Maybe jellyfish get more and more evolved the deeper we get until there's an actual intelligent life form...
Any marine biologists in the crowd?

That is quite the interesting theory. I dont doubt that there are intelligent life forms on the bottom of the ocean, otherwise how did they survive so long? My only question would be
how smart are they exactly? I doubt there is a life form living in water and who is smarter than us.

I saw the hollywood blockbuster movie "Batmen versus the Super Man" and inside of this movie film was a segment upon Agua Man. He was found at the bottom of the sea and helps one of the characters as they are drowning, i think maybe Loist Lane the SuperMans love interest in the film.
Anways back to the aguar man. He appears to be have a home at bottom of ocean just as original poster has mentioned in topic! Its funny since Ive seen movie just yesterday and now im seeing similar posting above ha ha ha. But yes very interesting topic indeed indeed. In my opinon i think there IS intelligent life forms at the bottom of the ocean floor. Dozens of researchers on the subject seem to say that weve only yet explored .00005% of the ENTIRE oceans!? This fact is very interesting to us as humans fighting for world supremacies on the land! I've long since wondered about this fact, its truly funny to me. Anyways im very excited for this new Agua Man movie as it comes to theaters in the near future i believe. I have provided link below to said movie. I know it may be silly but perhaps theres element of truths in this film to be seen. James Camrom has actually done extensive research with his Ocean vehicles modeled after the heli-chopters in Avatar The Movie. On another topic, Avatar is probably my favorite film of all time
