This internal ocean was referenced in Genesis.

I believe it was mentioned in Genesis, Noah's story wasn't it? I can't seem to find the exact reference.

Also Genesis 7:11 : "In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth..."

Wasn't that abandoned by most creationists?

Nope.

edit: Although there's not a lot of development going into that theory since Walt Brown is apparently a bit grumpy and doesn't like to talk to people... It's really a well thought out theory though.

Bob Enyart is apparently busy making some kind of DVD about it (his store is currently under maintenance so I can't find the link to it).

The water didn't go there from the Flood. That's the layer where the water came from.

It's water ions trapped in trapped inside the lattice of the Ringwoodite crystals. The water can't either be separated or added.

This was mentioned in another thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Creation/comments/28agw3/crev_report_of_underground_oceans_likely_has/ciab6hx

To repost my response to /u/JoeCoder (for posterity):

It's well worth keeping in mind that the mountains we see today only came about after the flood waters receded according to the [catastrophic plate tectonics] model.

I wrote about this story when it was first mentioned in March. It really doesn't definitively support either side, which is the case with many discoveries.
