Life & Temperatures on Titan

A possible issue with Titan's water mantle is that it is probably deeper than 75 km. With a density of 1.88 grams per cubic centimeters, it could easily have a water 900 km thick beneath a 100 km thick crust. Of course, there could also be multicellular lifeforms in the water mantle, there are all of the requirements of life, and they might get large enough to pose a threat to a small submersible.
