Answer 1

If you were near a [hydrothermal vent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrothermal_vent), it would probably be just about right. Otherwise, the crust in ocean areas is only a few miles thick and it transitions from freezing to over a thousand degrees Fahrenheit in that short range, so you’d probably only want to be about a mile under the ocean floor.
