The English phrase "under the sea" is translated into Spanish as bajo el mar.

bajo el mar is used to describe something that is located or occurring beneath the surface of the sea.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of bajo (under), el (the) and mar (sea).

While bajo el mar refers specifically to the sea, bajo el océano would be used if referring specifically to the ocean.

While el mar is the standard form in bajo el mar, the word mar can occasionally be feminine (la mar) when used in poetic contexts or by experienced sailors.
In Spanish, the word mar is also used as a common shorthand abbreviation for marzo, the month of March.
In Spanish, bajo can function as both a preposition meaning 'under' and an adjective meaning 'short' or 'low'.
