Arizona does not border an ocean---but it is close to the Pacific Ocean.
The United States city of Phoenix, Arizona uses the Mountain time zone. This time zone is one hour ahead of the Pacific time zone. The state of Arizona does not participate in daylight savings time.
1215 Pacific Daylight Saving Time (PDT; UTC-7) = 1215 Mountain Standard Time (MST; UTC-7) 1215 Pacific Standard Time (PST; UTC-8) = 1315 MST
Arizona is kind of an Odd Duck in that it doesn't officially recognize daylight savings time. It's officially in the Mountain time zone while LA is in the Pacific time zone, but for about half the year clocks read the same in Arizona as they do in LA even though in Arizona it's called MST (Mountain Standard Time) and in LA it's called PDT (Pacific Daylight Time).
Arizona is never on Pacific time. Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone, and (except the Navajo Nation in the northeast corner of the state) does not observe Daylight Saving Time, and therefore does not "spring forward" in April nor "fall back" in October. This results in some confusion, as all U.S. states in the Pacific and Mountain time zones exceptArizona observe Daylight Saving Time, and therefore adjust their clocks one hour ahead during the summer months. Due to the relative population of California, some people find it easier to comprehend the variation by suggesting that Arizona is "on Pacific (or California) time" during the period of Daylight Saving Time, but this is technically inaccurate. While in July it may be the same time in Phoenix as it is in Los Angeles, Arizona remains in the Mountain time zone, observing Mountain Standard Time year-round.

Depends upon the time of year. In the winter, Nevada is on Pacific Standard Time {PST} and Arizona in on Mountain Standard Time {MST}, so the difference in time is one hour. Example: 9 AM in Nevada = 10 AM in Arizona. In the spring Nevada switches to Pacific Daylight Time {PDT} but Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so for the summer there would be no time difference between the two states. In the autumn, Nevada switches back from PDT to PST and again there is that one hour time difference.
No
All of Arizona is on Standard Mountain Time. Arizona does not change the clocks like most of the nation does twice a year. Arizona is one hour ahead of Pacific Standard Time. When the west coast goes on daylight savings time their clocks are the same as the ones in Arizona.
There are several time zones in the continental US. Eastern, Central, Mountain, Arizona, Pacific, and Alaska.
