No; not right now, either. It's a lot loser to 1/12; Earth's average ocean depth is ~3700m.
That may have been shallower at some point in the very distant past (which, to be fair, also describes the last time Mars had surface water), but for as long as Earth has had continents it's probably been within rounding error of that value.
