The characteristic that is NOT true for sea snakes is:

  1. lives mostly on land but goes into the ocean frequently

Sea snakes are primarily aquatic and do not typically live on land. They are adapted to a fully marine lifestyle. The other characteristics listed (bradycardia when diving, being venomous, and the ability to hold their breath for a significant amount of time) are true for sea snakes.
