The temperature of he oceans varies as the depth. the salinity and the latitude. The polar seas (high latitude) can reach -2 oC (28.4 oF) while the Persian Gulf (low latitude) as high as 36oC (96.8oF). The average temperature of the ocean surface waters is about 17oC (62.6oF).

The deep ocean is another story. About 90 % of the total volume of ocean is found below the thermocline in the deep ocean. This deep ocean water is between 0-3 oC (32-37.5oF)

As a result the average temperature of all the ocean waters (as a whole) approaches these temperatures.
