The explanation for this hasn't been given yet, but I assume he was able to survive due to the amount of augmentations he has. He can be seen floating in the water in the announcement trailer with a VTOL overhead, so as long as he wasn't floating there for too long, I guess it's not that implausible that he would have survived. What I'm wondering is how he got from the Hyron portion of Panchaea, which seems to be relatively deep, to near the surface of the ocean.
