[edit] Limit
What is the geographical coordinate of its limit with the Pacific Ocean at the peripheral South China Sea? (Please reply at talk:South China Sea. Thanks.) — Instantnood 19:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hindi script
Indian Ocean doesn't belong to India. It covers a lot more. Then, what is the point of adding Hindi script? Shouldn't it be removed as this ocean is not part of India?

- Agreed, I've removed it. Recury 18:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Major ports and harbors
Shouldn't Port Louis be included in the list of major ports and harbours? Eleusis 06:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deepest point
Changed -as the Diamantina Deep is confirmed as that point. SatuSuro 03:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

- This is mentioned in the Southern Ocean article, in the History section. -- Avenue 09:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Also, the so-called "Southern Ocean" is a recently-invented classification. Geographers have traditionally considered the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans to extend to the coast of Antarctica. NCdave 22:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
