I think it has to do with a lack of information regarding if you're underwater or not. I've drowned a few times w/o SCUBA equipement and now I make sure to press X (at least 2 times) to make sure my character is a maximum "water-height".

I've also had this happen a few times. The way to ensure you are above water is to completely stop moving and hold x until you see your character come as far out of the water as he can. This usually works.
A little fix could be needed for this so that you don't always have to do this.

I experienced getting stuck under water today with SCUBA, but the only side effect was that sound above water was muted.
Though i can confirm that i've drowned without water despite being on the surface.
You have to keep pressing X every second otherwise you slowly start sinking.

I have drowned alot probally 40% of the 100 times i have tried. The audio does not always make the gasping sound upon re-surface.

Part of the issue is that to swim with your head above water, you must angle your view up significantly. The problem is then you can't see where you're going.
