There's actually a component attached to each part in KSP called "PartBuoyancy" or something similar. What you could do is enable or disable that depending on what you need to do with it, changing values if it has them and you need to.

Take a look at this link: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Component.GetComponents.html

It can get all of the components (what makes objects in Unity work) and then all you need to do is a little bit of coding to determine what components are on the part in question.

Also take a look at this to provide insight for minimizing code: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/API:Part

Good luck with your project!

By attaching boosters to it.

Or making it extremely heavy, iirc. There is an old submarine mod which doesn't seem to be totally functional in the current game, I've been poking around with it attempting to fix it up a little, trying to get something that works without plugins. I may go for the approach of converting IntakeAir to some new extremely dense resource via one engine & burn it off with another, might work... that is assuming there is any IntakeAir resource underwater at least.
