ah so the ocean IS finite.. I was wondering when I mined out some coral and replaced the sand. can you empty the ocean that way too? slowly.. I did that too with making air pockets with the stone. just take a stack of stone blocks with you and make a little 5 by 5 one block thick house, fill it up with stone then mine it out. of course has to be at least the player's height off the sea floor. add wood platform to it and you can stand inside to protect you from sea creatures. if you have the trident, vilethorn or something similar it's pretty useful you can kill anything that comes by in safety (vilethorn is better because it works through walls) and when its clear go out and collect whatever fell too far then go back.
