False.
The deep water contains more oxygen concentration as consumption of oxygen is very low in deeper zone.
Between the depth of 200m to 1500m, the oxygen concentration is minimum. This zone is known as "Oxygen minimum Zone".
Surface ocean waters generally have oxygen concentrations close to equilibrium with the Earth's atmosphere.
Aerobic bacteria use the oxygen in upper zone for their metabolism, thus lowering the concentration of oxygen.
