You meand dug *under* the ocean.
You can't dig *into* the ocean, unless it's frozen, in which case it's not ocean... it's ice capping the earth's surface.
You can push your way down through the ocean in a bathysphere, and set up a dome over the earth at the bottom of the ocean, fill it with air, get out of the bathysphere, and with a shovel dig into the earth.
For the first bit it will be muddy, but then it will go to damp, and then finally you'll hit dry stuff.
It's dry because the earth gets hotter the deeper you go, until it gets so hot that any water in the soil of the earth is evaporated and vented out through undersea thermal vents.
But you're not digging into the ocean at that point. You're digging into the earth's crust. You never could dig into the ocean insolong as it was liquid, you could only move through it and get wet in the process, because it's water, and not ice or steam, so... sorry, but...water itself is still as wet as you always thought it was.

If you can get more of the stuff, hook with legal council wise to the ways of stake-claims, and when you've got that nailed down, both of you go to a reputable mineralogists, and you get it analyzed.
If it's a new mineral morph (yes, new minerals can still be found... what with the complexities or order enabled by p-d fusion of the atomic orbitals, there's as many possible permutations and combination's of inorganic material to make different minerals as there are different organic molecules derivable from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, and if you've got a new one they'll name it after you...
Then iif your claim is sound, you can start mining it, and I know there are people always interested in hydrophobic minerals... i.e.submarine builders... because submarines can move faster with hydrophobic skins.
