Water is not very effective at blocking out UV rays from the sun, especially when the sunlight is directly overhead. While submerged, the water may reduce some UV exposure, but it doesn't completely block it. Additionally, UV rays can penetrate several feet underwater, increasing the risk of sunburn.

Is it redundant to write submerged under water when submerged means to descend under the water's surface?

It would only be redundant if the context had already made it unambiguous that it was water. It is possible to be submerged under any liquid: for example french fries are cooked submerged under hot oil (they can't be cooked submerged under hot water).Yes, "submerged underwater" is redundant. Submerged under anything is redundant since the prefix "sub-" means "under." In most cases, the use of "submerged" alone is sufficient. In case there is some question about the substance something is submerged in (not necessarily liquid, not necessarily tangible), you might occasionally have use for "submerged in water."
