Might have to do with density of the water which is influenced both by temperature and depth. Something similar happens with sound but the range is way off. h

- dmoy 11y agoBut the density of water does not vary much by depth (like 1% per 2 kilometers depth). Similar deal for temperature, density lowers by 1% per 20 degrees Celsius (and given that the temp of ocean water stays very much between like >0 and <<35, basically no difference in density. In fact some of these properties of density of water are what make it such a weird substance, and enable the use of submarines, etc.
