at what point does electricity stop in water?

Obviously if we put live electricity in the sea, the whole ocean wouldn’t then become dangerous with it. At what point does the electricity stop? What stops it?

Nothing stops it. Electricity wants to go back to its source. If you put a live wire in the water the electricity will flow back through the water and then the ground to the neutral point of the transformer providing the power. It won’t just go out looking to electrocute people. You’re only in danger if you’re in the way.
