Question: There is  the Kola Superdeep Borehole  and  the Mariana trench  but both are not accessible to average humans.   What is the deepest point on earth I can reach?

Answers:
sents: text: If you're looking for deepest place on the surface it would be the Dead Sea which is -427m deep.
text: If you're looking for the Ocean one there is a tourism organized by Deep Ocean Expeditions , which you can pay a pretty penny but explore like James Cameron down to the depth of the Mariana Trench...
text: If you're looking for something more or less reasonable as far as prices are concerned take a look at R.I.D.E.

text: Which tells us that, apart from the dead sea, lowest human-sized point underground is 3.9 kilometres (2.4 mi)[1] below ground at the TauTona Mine, Carletonville, South Africa Google shows the entrance at about 1700m which would make the bottom 2.2km below ground you would have to go to sea to beat that as Karlson suggested.

sents: text: If you also mean the deepest point underground: The deepest natural cave is the Voronya/Krubera Cave in Abchasia near Georgia/Russia with an estimated depth of over 2000 meter (6500 ft).
text: The entrance is in 2200 m height so you are still over water.
text: I have used this as background in a RPG game and searched photos for it.
text: It contains very long shafts, an underground river...
text: it is quite a fantastic cave.

text: Not nearly as deep as caves posted in other answers, but a lot more accessible for the average tourist.

Summary of the answers:
The deepest place on the surface would be the  Dead Sea  which is -427m deep. The deepest natural cave is the Voronya/Krubera Cave in Abchasia near Georgia/Russia with an estimated depth of over 2000 metres (6500 ft), while the lowest human-sized point underground is 3.9 kilometres (2.4 mi)[1] below ground at the TauTona Mine, Carletonville, South Africa  In the ocean, you can join a tour organised by Deep Ocean Expeditions to explore the Mariana Trench.
There are a number of places on earth that are deep and you can visit. The easiest is probably the Dead Sea. For real depth, there is Deep Ocean Expeditions that will take you down to the Mariana Trench.
