  1. No, this is highly unlikely. Enceladus has a different structure as Europa.

    Enceladus can have small liquid water pockets below it's ice layers, causing cryovolcanism, but it is unlikely that it has a complete ocean below the ice, like pretty possible on Europa.

    Also, it is not sure how stable these pockets are, it is pretty possible, that the tectonics of the ice layer create and destroy such water pockets over time.


  2. not likely.

  3. There may be regions on the moon that have liquid water below the surface as these areas seem to have been "wiped" clean of craters
