I would like to extract depth data from the ESRI provided Ocean basemap. I have several shapefiles for which I would like to find the deepest depth contained within the shapefile. I assume this should involve converting the shapefiles to raster and populating the raster file with the depth data within the basemap.

a) I cannot find a resource online to provide guidance on this and am lost
b) Will this require spatial analyst or 3-d analyst?

Thank you for your time

The Ocean Basemap is a map service provided by Esri.  You are not able to extract the data from this service as the properties are set for viewing only. 

If you were able to get the source data, you can use the Add Surface Information (3D Analyst) tool or the Extract Values to Points (Spatial Analyst).
