Good question.
I think some of the borders are:
The line of longitude that extends south from Cape Hope, South Africa divides the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
The LOL (ha ha) extending south from Cape Horn, Chile divides the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
The Bering Strait divides the Arctic and Pacific Oceans.

If you swim wearing only a luminous condom at night in the middle of an ocean, how'd you think different sea creatures would react to you?

Interesting. Any idea on the Arctic/Atlantic divide, or the Indian/Pacific? It seems like those have fewer obvious continental features to act as boundaries.

.
Not offhand, although I think the parallel extending from either side of Greenland's southernmost point might form part of the boundary between the Arctic/Atlantic.

I agree with that.
I'm going to look at a map later on.
