Gravity affects ocean water by pulling it towards the Earth's center, creating tides as the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon causes the water to bulge. Gravity also influences ocean currents by affecting the circulation patterns of water around the globe.

Is there gravity under water?

Definitely. A rock sinks in the ocean because gravity operates on it even under water. A log floats in water not because gravity stops under water but because the log's density is lower than that of the water.
