Do water dinosaurs still exist?
There are no dinosaurs that live in water, there never were! You might argue that penguins live in water, but they don’t really, they live on land but hunt in water. Some of the ancient dinosaurs also hunted in water, but they weren’t aquatic. Crocodiles didn’t even exist during the time of the dinosaurs!
Could dinosaurs still exist in the ocean?
There are no known aquatic dinosaurs. It would not be impossible for dinosaurs to evolve to live in water (though being air breathers they would not be able to live permanently deep underwater) just as whales evolved from mammals.
