For magma to cool it needs to give of heat into its immediate area if it's immediate area aka a layer of super heated water for about a conservitive guess of a few feet is just as hot as it is it won't cool

"boiling point is the temprature when liquid begins to vaporise"

given that at 1700 m below sea level (the deapest the active lava zone goes) the boiling point of water is 212 farenheight lava when first ejected is round 1300 to 2200 farenheight.

So there is a possable layer of steam being held down.
