Venomous sea snakes are, on a whole, ridiculously more venomous than venomous land snakes. As far I as recall.
Like the very venomous coral snake:
New World coral snakes possess one of the most potent venoms of any North American snake. However, relatively few bites are recorded due to their reclusive nature and the fact they generally inhabit sparsely populated areas. Even in areas that are densely populated, bites are rare.
Also not to be confused with the non-venomous king snake:
They get their fresh water from rain pools that, being less dense than seawater, float on the surface for a while.
That's metal as shit imo.
Fun fact sea snake scales are actually hydrophobic and there is a thin layer of air around it. The snake can breathe from this bubble of scale air and some pacific island claim divers can stay underwater longer by catching sea snakes and breathing from their tails, also I just made all that up.
I almost believed you. But the part of divers breathing snake ass was too much.
Well, you're supposed to make out with a puffer fish if you want to breath longer.
My upvote for valuable scientific knowledge suddenly changed in the meaning in the last line.
watch it turns out that there IS a species that does this, and you were accidentally correct

I have seen a striped white and black one while oversees on holiday casually swimming on the beach in the water
Clarification edit: it was the snake casually swimming on the beach near the shore, not me

I have never been scared of snakes. They aren't spooky, they don't turn my stomach. The phobia has never made sense to me.
But I think if I saw that thing slither by while diving I would get it. Huh.
Would be even scarier if you saw it I'm your perifial vision, imagine that
Please do not boop this snoot for your own safety. Sometimes they get curious and may investigate you if you're near their waters. Please do not freak out as they're just curious but above all else: Do not boop
