Underwater explosives (depth charges, torpedoes, submarine sinkers, etc) are just designed to successfully explode, just like any other bomb. Being in water doesn't affect a bomb too much, as long as the explosive material doesn't get wet, as well as any electronic detonating systems.
In other words, an underwater explosive is just like any other explosive, but just waterproof.
