Although the Burrow Dragon had tried to adhere as closely as possible to fluid dynamics in designing the buoyancy device, this prosthetic, primarily meant for terrestrial combat, could not achieve ultra-high speeds in the ocean.
Forcibly inhaling seawater and then heating it for propulsion wasn't impossible, but some of the weaker parts of the prosthetic might not withstand it, and in this shallow sea, doing so would create a big commotion, easily attracting the Protector's power.
