Why won't my mob farm work

I have built a mob farm in my single player world, but it doesn't work.

I have tested the mob farm in a super flat world and it works well. I have built them almost identical, the only difference is that I used snow blocks instead of cobble and that half my mob farm is built in a deep ocean biome and the other half is in an ocean biome. I have checked and there is no light in the farm and no caves under it. I have searched for an asnwer but nothing seems to work.

I copied the farm from logdotzips 34th episode of how to minecraft.

The Problem
The problem that you had is because of the cave underground / near the mob farm. Why superflat world worked? Simply because there is no cave under / below it.

Why?
Why is it? It's because when a mob want to spawn, the game simply search for a random location with certain requirement needed. In this situation is Light Level.

How to fix it
Well simply enough, you must make the light level of near by caves up. You can see the block you're standing light level by entering the Debug Menu by pressing F3. Make sure there is no near by cave to have light level of 7 or below. Make sure also there is no cave with light level 7 or below in 64 block from the middle of the farm.
