It will not be as good as mixing the cement and putting it in wet, but it will set the post. There used to be cement made for this, but I haven't seen it for a while so it may no longer be available.

I used QuickCrete to set a mailbox pole during a period of wet weather this winter. The hole was full of water and I just poured the QuickCrete to within 3" of the surface, made sure the post was plumb & level. Worked great with a long cure time.

Can concrete set under water?

Yes. Water is actually needed for concrete to set and is vital to the curing process. Concrete will set just fine under water. Depending on your specific application (will all of the pour be under water or will it start under water and finish above the water line) you may need to adjust the initial dryness of the mix as well as take more care in the pour. All of the volume of the concrete that is under water shoudl be poured in continuous fashtion. If you must pour in steps, the start of the next pour must be "in" the old pour so as to not leave a water survice between the pours. This "seam" will tend to stay and produce a weaker stucture.
