Usually there's a sticker on the back of the PWC that explains how to right it after rolling it over. It is important that it be rolled over in the right direction. If there's no such sticker on the back of your PWC, check the manual so that you know which direction is correct.
The basic procedure is as follows:
1) Ensure the PWC's engine has stopped. If not, do not approach it.
2) Swim to the back of the PWC. See if there's a sticker visible documenting the rotation direction to double-check that you remembered it correctly. If not, you'll have to go with your memory.
3) You can try to turn the PWC right side up just by twisting it from the back. This will work on lighter PWCs.
4) If that fails, climb onto the bottom of the PWC and grab the far side. Then lean back to induce the PWC to tip. (You may wish to practice this maneuver in your head so that you know which side to be on and which way to lean to ensure it rolls the right way.)
5) Get the PWC running as soon as possible to flush any water out of the engine and exhaust systems. Try to use the PWC for at least 10 minutes to heat the engine and oil hot enough to evaporate out any water.
6) Inspect the PWC to ensure water didn't get anywhere it's not supposed to be, such as in any of the electrical boxes.
