Mining with the head under water or while not standing on the ground each cuts mining speed to one fifth; together they cut it to one twenty-fifth.

Rules

Under waterWith the player's eyes in water, mining speed is multiplied by 0.2.
Aqua AffinityAqua Affinity raises the underwater multiplier from 0.2 to 1, which removes the penalty.
Off the groundWhile the player is not standing on the ground, for example jumping, falling or swimming, mining speed is divided by 5.
Both at onceEyes in water and off the ground: speed x 0.04. With Aqua Affinity: speed x 0.2.
