It actually depends on the dictionary that gives the pronunciation of this word. Many conclude the /sh/ represents the 'ce' others include the 'a' and state that it is 'cea' that makes up the sound /sh/.

it's the sound that water makes when it is churned or splashed.
and if you want to know why the ocean is blue......One common misconception today is that the oceans are blue primarily because the sky is blue. In fact, water has a very slight blue color that can only be seen in large volumes. While the sky's reflection does contribute to the blue appearance of the surface, it is not the primary cause. The primary cause is the absorption by the water molecules' nuclei of red photons from the incoming light, the only known example of color in nature resulting from nuclear, rather than electronic, dynamics.

It's the same sound you hear when you hold a large sea shell (like a conch) up to your ear.
And it's amazing. We live one and a half hour's drive from the nearest sea and I can still hear the ocean in my shell at home!
