That depends on your perspective. We have the technology to go to Mars right now; we do not have the technology to go to the bottom of the Marianas Trench. It is a much more hostile environment than Mars is.

However, if you assumed that we were able to go the bottom of the ocean, transporting supplies there would be much easier than transporting supplies to Mars.

Except we reached it four times since 1960 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariana_Trench#Descents
