It was no run-of-the-mill magnetic field, clearly.
Starships underwater?

As we all know, there is nothing from Qo'noS to Earth that can hinder super karate monkey death J.J. transporters!
They have phase cloaking for that.
Hey, that's a darn good hiding place - the center of the Earth; dinosaurs, half naked ladies, lush plant life, etc.

Yeah, that was a separate complaint I and others have had. But I don't want to turn this into a J.J. Rebootrams complaint thread.
How about jello?
Didn't somebody in TNG eat something that looked like Jell-O?
While not "underwater" per se, Voyager encountered and traversed fluidic space in a number of episodes.
Can't recall exactly but I wonder if the Enterprise D or (DS9) Defiant ever immersed itself in a fluid mass, as it sounds familiar somehow.
To operate a starship inside a liquid mass... it certainly seems like a reasonably useful design feature, because: space exploration.

From a purely technical standpoint, yes it is possible to submerge a starship.
From a storytelling perspective, there's no damned reason to do so, most of the time. The one exception I'll entertain is Voyager's space ocean.

Starships: They can go faster than light, fly through black holes and take direct hits from antimatter weapons, but a little H20?
"Not with these magnetic fields"
They needed line of sight to beam him up, hence lifting off and hovering above the volcano.
"Can we beam him up?"

I'm guessing you haven't seen the finale of Discovery, yet.
They spore-jump the entire USS Discovery into a cave beneath the surface of Kronos.
"Do we have use of the transporters?"
"Negative, sir."
"Not with these magnetic fields."
The transporter wasn't usable until the volcano was "frozen." That's when they were finally able to beam Spock out.
Kor
Why indeedWhy would God ever need one?
Sorry, I had to.
Ok I remember that line now but the cold fusion device hadn't gone off yet when they beamed him up. The truth is the hole ship underwater thing was done so they had a cool scene at the beginning of the movie, did it make any sense not really and they didn't feel the need to tell us why the ship was underwater instead of them taking shuttles down from orbit.
