Do you ever say things ocean related in place of swears or other things?

I do all the time xD It becomes kind of a habit!

"HOLY CARP" is a good one ;)

I said HOLY CARP (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2327475/Havent-met-Angler-catches-giant-carp-hooked-14-years-ago-time-DOUBLE-size.html) just the other day, in fact ;)

Searious is a good spelling, but it doesn't sound different. :P

This is a favorite thread of mine here: http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?3280-Favorite-mer-sayings-merpuns-just-for-the-Halibut

I keep it bookmarked. xD

I typically don't, I say things like that when typing occasionally (Holy crab, for example, instead of holy carp xD) but I never got myself into the habit. I'd imagine once I get my tail and am spending a lot more time around children I'll probably force the habit on me so I don't accidentally swear in front of them xD
