All of the Apollo capsules were designed to land in the ocean. They did this for two reasons. The first is that by not carrying fuel and rocket motors to facilitate a controlled descent over land they could bring back additional payload in the form of lunar samples. Secondly, by designing to land in the water they did not have to worry about a descent engine failing and dooming the crew. Since it was designed to land in water, the only device that had to operate in order to land successfully was the the parachute system. Once the chutes were deployed there was little danger of catastrophic mission failure.
