How deep can the oceans be while still alowing some land?

Many alien worlds will most likely be water worlds. I was wondering what the deepest possible global ocean dept is where land is still possible. I think that volcanic islands will still have a chance to form even after continents are no longer possible since they can have quite steep slopes which are supported by water. I'm aware that this isn't anything we can describe easily, so all I'm looking for is a rough estimate. Would there be any reason not to scale this estimate linearly with gravity to adapt it for worlds with nonterran gravity?
