This is a word. It's a plural of deep. It's probably not in M-W's Collegiate or New World Dictionary. It is a playable Scrabble word though: https://scrabble.merriam.com/finder/deeps
It could use a tag like "non-standard" or "archaic" or "fantastical" since it seems it's mostly used to describe fictional caves or extreme deep-sea creatures and monsters that are "from the deeps." It's also used in the KJV translation of Psalms.
