I have two theories for why the Mark 42 didn't seem to be waterproof.



1: The damage the Mark 42 took during the attack in Stark's home. The suit very clearly has a few holes in it where the water could have gotten in.

2: The suit may not have been waterproof to begin with due to the way it's designed. Having separate pieces that wrap around its user's body to form the armor might not make for very good waterproofing.

Or it could have been a combination of the two; the suit may have had poor waterproofing it could have only been able to spend a limited amount of time underwater, and the breaches in the armor allowed the suit to fill faster than it would have otherwise.
