What job title would you search for if your were looking for a job on a ocean exploration expedition or any kind of scientific studies with zero experience in the field. Something more on the manual labor side.

At the cost per hour, they may not want total inexperience endangering the rest of the crew. Someone who has no maritime experience probably should get some through a union training program.

You can look for observer positions on international fishing vessels. A lot of opportunities in the Pacific Northwest.

Most of the world's oceans have been found. What else could you possibly discover and map?

You have a 0% chance to land a job like you are talking about.
I went to a school with marine and maritime degrees only and the marine biology and ocean program students had an extremely rough time landing jobs like you are talking about and they have 4 year degrees and masters degrees in the field with experience. Less than 5% get the jobs like you are talking about. They are very coveted.
So yea you have a 0% chance unless you know the owner or captain of a research vessel and they just let you come deck on their boat. Even then, they might tell you to go deck on a fishing boat or something else before going with them.

Unfortunately the way the job market is these days you're gonna need a master's in organic chemistry just to clean the shitters on an oceanographic vessel.
