Didn't he hitch a ride on a submarine as if he was riding a dolphin across an ocean?

The most "logical" belief is that the sub was only submerged enough that the periscope was still above water and he held onto it for the entire trip.

According to this article on Cracked, it was 2+ days and over 500 miles.

From the actual script:
quote:

135 EXT. THE PERISCOPE – NIGHT

The submarine has stopped. The water is calm. The moon
is bright. A gentle swell splashes Indy awake. He blinks,
tries to regain his senses. He makes an inventory of his
body. Surprised to find himself intact, his spirits lift.
Some hidden reserve of energy flows through him. He frees
his aching arms from the wet leather of his whip, leaving
only one loop around his waist to hold him to the sub. He
rubs his hands and stretches. Once again, he has survived.
To fight again.
