I am thinking South America. If you look at Google Maps, and switch to satellite mode, you can clearly see how the Andes mountains of South America extend under water. Also you can see, that due to continental shift, caused the separation.

Contenental Shelf.
The shallow extension of the continent that extends beyond the shoreline is called a continental shelf. It is the submerged part of a continent that extends from the shoreline to a drop-off point called the shelf break.
The part of the continent covered by water is called the continental shelf. It is the underwater extension of a continent that slopes gradually from the shore into the ocean.
The continental shelf is a plateau that lies off each coast of a continent. It is a shallow underwater extension of a continent that slopes gently into the ocean.
The underwater edge of a continent is called the continental shelf. It is the shallow, submerged extension of a continent that extends from the shoreline to the continental slope. The continental shelf is rich in marine life and is important for fishing and oil exploration.
The continental shelf is the feature that best marks the edge of a continent. It is the shallow, submerged extension of a continent before the ocean floor begins.
Continental Shelves
The Indian Ocean does not touch North America.
The term for the part of a continent that extends beyond the shoreline beneath relatively shallow seawater is the continental shelf. It is an underwater extension of the continent that slopes gently from the shore to the ocean depths.
At the edge of a continent under the ocean lies the continental shelf, a gently sloping extension of the continent covered by shallow seas. Beyond the continental shelf, there is a steeper drop-off known as the continental slope, leading to the deep ocean floor of the abyssal plain.
