Trying to run away while underwater gives the following message if you don't have enough diving ability:
You'd have a shot on land, but there's no way you can swim fast enough to get away underwater.
Fighting to a draw while underwater gives the following message:
You're both exhausted by the time you wrap up, heading your separate ways underwater.
You cannot use metallic oil, tin armored drone or tin soldier while underwater.
See Techniques Testing for a list techniques that are confirmed not to be affected while underwater and things that still need testing.
