Arent the oceans?

The thing about Jupiter is that if it has a solid core (IIRC it's not 100% sure yet, though maybe things have changed since I last checked), there's still no surface. As you go down, it just goes from gas through liquid to solid gradually without any clear boundaries.

If you were to "land" there, you'd just sink down until you reached the depth with the same density as your vehicle and stay there.

it's not so cool for the spaceships that attempt to land there as they'd be squashed to death, presumably, but yeah, from a scientific point of view, it's cool :D (not really since it's rather hot inside)
