Use a stick to measure the depth of any mud/water hole you are not familiar with..even some you are as they can become deeper. As far as if you hydrolock your motor or you feel it bucking..shut it off immediately then get towed/winched out of the hole. Remove ALL of the spark plugs and crank it over, then drain the oil and change it along with a new filter. If you were submerged deep/long enough look into changing the diffs, trans and transfer case fluids as well...sometimes it would be smarter to get flatbedded home but it all depends on how far/long you were under the water.
