There is air in water, but we, being people, aren't made to be able to breathe air that way. Only the sea life is made for using it with their special lungs. Hope this helps.

I think because air is lighter and lighter things go up likewise heavier things(water, sand etc.) go down. Am I right!
Waves in the ocean create splash so to speak, which oxegenates the water, the deeper you go, the less air there is, but, after time, it does get to the bottom of the ocean, or the reef, coral and other species wouldn't be able to live. All things need air. Well, minus a rock. Lol
Even though water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen like the air that we breathe, one thing about chemicals is that, once they react in certain ways, they form compounds that are nothing like the original elements. In the case of hydrogen and oxygen gas, if you react them together one way you get liquid water (H2O). The reason we cannot breathe liquid water is because the oxygen used to make the water is bound to two hydrogen atoms, and we cannot breathe the resulting liquid. The oxygen is useless to our lungs in this form. The oxygen that fish breathe is not the oxygen in H2O. Instead, the fish are breathing O2 (oxygen gas) that is dissolved in the water. Humans cannot breathe underwater because our lungs do not have enough surface area to absorb enough oxygen from water, and the lining in our lungs is adapted to handle air rather than water.
