Here is my problem.
The immobilizer light should flash slowly whenever the car is off. If when you put the key in the ignition the light begins flashing quickly then that means the car doesn't recognize the RFID.
While I haven't submerged my flip key I have had it out in wet conditions, rain, dropped on the ground in rain, etc. The RFID chips should be sealed in a little plastic container inside the key part of the housing, and I doubt that incidental wetness would cause an issue like this.
If the light isn't flashing quickly then it's time to start looking for other issues..... starter, starter relay, clutch switch (if MTX), Park switch (if ATX). If you have an ATX try starting it in neutral.
