When you enter a submarine underneath the water does water enter in the submarine?

Yes and no - though water never enters the crew compartment, there are accesses known as escape trunks that are primarily designed for escape use by crews of a sunken submarine. However, they're also used for exit/entry by rescue divers/crew or SEAL teams. Each trunk has an outer and an inner hatch; the space between hatches is used to let water in to flood the trunk and to equalize the pressure to the surrounding sea pressure, in order to allow opening of the outer hatch. The trunk is accessed from the pressure hull (crew compartment) via the inner hatch, and then the inner hatch is sealed. The trunk is then flooded until the pressure is equalized, and then the occupants exit. After the occupants have exited and closed the outer hatch, the trunk is emptied of water using high pressure air. Once it's purged of water, the air pressure inside the trunk is then equalized with the air pressure inside the crew compartment, so the inner hatch can be opened again and the process restarted.

How does the cabin of the submarine get pressurized?

"Pressure in the Boat" is the proper term, and it is closely monitored while underway submerged. A drop in pressure indicates a leak somewhere onboard. Once all hatches are closed and dogged, overall internal pressure is increased slightly to determine if there is a good seal on all hatches prior to diving. Air is bled into the pressure hull as necessary to do this, though the pressure isn't that much. The pressure is monitored constantly. In emergency flooding cases, a compartment can be pressurized with compressed air to halt incoming water (or force it out). Over time, pressure will increase as air is bled into the boat, and when surfacing and opening a hatch for the first time, crew must be extremely careful as the pressure is strong enough to eject a person out of the hatchway. All hatches have dog latches that prevent the hatch from being just being opened, and if there's too much pressure, it'll prevent the hatch from being blown open. However, it won't prevent someone from being blown into the hatch if they're not careful.
