This is a great question. He is in the water right when it happens, and he gets to run across the ocean floor to the launch facility afterwards.
I wonder if someone with a good grasp of physics can explain. Maybe the suit doesn't have to be hermetic to provide the protection from the pressure? The body inside is dead so it doesn't need oxygen or thermoregulation, so the key question is the impact of pressure.
