The South China Sea (SCS) is a semi-enclosed and multi-connected marginal deep sea with a large number of islands (seamounts). The deep SCS circulation is very robust with active deep water renewed. This paper reviews the current understanding of the deep water in the SCS, focusing on its origin and development, as well as the unique features of the SCS deep circulation.
