IIRC, firing a FMJ 9mm from a Glock underwater can still penetrate plywood at about a dozen feet.

Under water, a 36 grain .223 bullet moving at 3,750 ft/s will shed velocity faster than a 115 grain 9mm at 1,300 ft/s.

I would take that bet! A 45 ACP FMJ 230 will only go through about a foot and a half of water, then drop to the bottom.
