Diamond's scratch 'hardness' is the highest amongst naturally formed minerals. The only thing that can scratch it, is itself. However it is not 'tough'.

Basically, Diamond is brittle. A blow from a solid object may crack it. If a diamond was struck by a bullet, it might shatter.

Is diamond bulletproof?

Well, there's two ways to look at that. A diamond is harder than any bullet, yes, but diamonds can shatter from blunt force impact - and it's not uncommon at all (ask any gem cutter). A bullet probably could not penetrate a diamond as it would the hide and flesh of an animal, for instance, but the tremendous energy of the bullet could shatter the diamond on impact if the diamond was hit in 'exactly' the right spot, or if the back of the target was also diamond, resisting the energy and focusing it on the target diamond. Diamonds are small enough and valuable enough that you should not try this at home.

What happens when a bullet hits water?

Depends on the angle at which the bullet hits the water. At a shallow angle (less than 45 degrees) the bullet may bounce off the water, just as if it had hit a hard surface. At more direct angles, the bullet will splash, and may be deflected from a straight path. It will stop fairly quickly due to the resistance of the water.
