I had the same thought. You could even do a salt water/clear water
heat exchange and not have the salt water near the servers.

>From a risk perspective, failure under 100 ft of sea water
would seem to much more catastrophic vs failure on land and
cooling with pumped water (maybe I read too much N.N. Taleb).
