You can bet they can bite underwater. I've seen it. I saw a FLA diamondback dip underwater for a few moments and come up with a catfish right next to us in Dead Lake. He pushed it up against a cypress stump and started to swallow it.
I once saw a TV show where another FLA diamonback was several miles from the Carrabelle area while swimming to a barrier island. He was maybe 6 or 7 feet long and floating on top like a big stick. Of course, this snake guy jumps out of the boat right on top of him and flings it in the boat with him. Must have been out of shotgun shells, but the rattler was still unamused by it all.
