Plato's choice of words makes it unlikely that Atlantis was located in what modern people call the Ocean.
Bodies of salt water are separated into 3 sizes:
gulf (small), sea (medium), and ocean (large).

Plato consistently stated that Atlantis was located in or on a SEA (pelagos).

And to be more precise, Plato never used the word "ocean" as a location for Atlantis.
(This is one of the most impressive items which I noticed in the research of Georgeos).
