As the profile notes, they don't just crawl on the ocean floor but also swim. The latter would probably be what leads to many of their encounters with humans, be they fishermen, bathers, etc. Sensing their mana, they would swim up to find and meet such men.

Also there is clear, warm water in parts of the Atlantic too. Not that we know if there even is a Atlantic/Pacific ocean in the MGE world.

As for living below the water, water monsters have built whole undersea civilizations, assisted by various magics.
