Sea creatures like fish have a different breathing system than mammals laki us. While mammals including man have lungs that can oxygenate our blood when we breathe , fish have gills that extract oxygen that is dissolved in water when water moves through their gills .
And since gills are specialized in extracting oxygen from water and they can't extract oxygen from air , when fish is taken out of the water , it can't get oxygen from air and they actually drown in air and die.
Exact opposite to what happen to us when we get submerged under water.

All the under water sea creatures?
If you mean, "are all under water creatures, sea creatures?" then no. The term SEA is for the ocean and there also can be creatures in freshwater.
