Most phones are not fully waterproof, and submerging them in the sea can cause damage. Saltwater is particularly corrosive, and unless your phone is specifically rated for water resistance (like IP67 or higher) and exposure to saltwater, you should avoid doing so. Consider using a waterproof case or a dry bag to protect your phone. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific details on water resistance.
