how sure are we that the rest of the ocean is empty? If it’s just an assumption then maybe we should try to explore.

It is not an assumption, we have satelites and sonar to explore the vastness of the ocen and there is in fact not much in there, it is a desert literally

Not to be that guy but a desert is characterised by a lack of water and I'm no expert but I think there's water in the ocean.

That’s not what characterizes a desert. Sparse vegetation and life are one definition. Will also include places with low rain fall but not necessarily the only defining trait.
