Assuming you generated depth contours ans spot sounding from DEM data, then I would expect the spot soundings to be consistent with the contours. The spot sounding values should have a value that is inside the the range of contour area the sounding point is located in. This is very often not the case. There are many spot soundings outside the corresponding contour.

And why are there many soundings in some places only very few in others?
