On occasion I have dropped into the ocean floor. It seems to be related to sand and gravel.
Once sunk I am not able to rise for air. I have to break the blocks.
Of course, this could be a new feature....

The way ive been able to do this is make n area of water 1 block deep with sand or gravel on the bottom, start swimming an press the sprint key and u will sink into the ground. It maybe the same thing occurring on the bottom of the floor
I believe Warren is pretty right.
I have discovered that this happens when standing on the bottom and then swimming either by "sprint" or double-tap forward. It doesn't have to be one block deep, it can be more.
I believe that there is another way that swimming can be initiated (unintentionally) by interacting with flowing water but I am not sure what actually has to happen to cause to cause swimming.
I've only been able to "get vertical" by digging the blocks beneath me or by "swimming" off a ledge if one happens to be around.
@unknown I don't think this is intentional. I can imagine this happening because of switching to the swim-animation, which also changes the hitbox for a splitsecond, causing the player to get stuck in the ground.
It appears that looking up and pressing w does get you unstuck.
IMHO, it seems like being able to stand up or crouch should always work, not just most of the time.
Could you attach video of the bug in action (or upload it elsewhere and provide a link)?
