Assuming that Dream Zanarkand (it is called a dream of the fayth after all. All aeons are dreams of the fayth) is in the middle of the Spiran Ocean doesn't make any sense at all. For one thing, when you are on board the Airship, you can pick any coordinate on the map to explore. Therefore, if Dream Zanarkand was actually in Spira, you could go to it. Also, the Al Bhed have assumingly been exploring the ocean for years. They have machina boats, and gear to be well-equipped for diving and riding throughout the ocean.
-From FFX-2Yuna: (narrating) Sacred Mt. Gagazet. Silent guardian of Zanarkand, city of the
dead. When the fayth disappeared, the clouds enshrouding the mountain began to
thin and disperse... ...revealing long-forgotten ruins among its peaks.
To me, it was always safe to assume that the Dream Zanarkand existed above these ruins, with a certain amount of water around it.
Perhaps the Dream Zanarkand truly is "flat", and Jecht came into Spira by falling off of the water, after all, it is a fact that Jecht went out on a boating trip and never returned.
