I had a Telemega go in the water. I was able to retrieve it within a five minutes or so, and dried it the same way Dan Crank did—in a sealed container with dry rice for a day. The same flight had a couple of PerfectFlite MAWD altimeters and a keychain camera that were treated the same way. All units functioned normally after drying, including the barometric chips, except the camera: I no longer can record sound on it. Good luck!

I have a TeleGPS that still appears to work OK after spending a night underwater. It doesn't have the barometric components, though. That same flight had a Featherweight Raven which got the same treatment, and still seems accurate as an altimeter. All I did with them was put them in tupperware containers with dry rice for a day or so, and give them new batteries.

We found the rocket only the following day. I am still waiting for it to dry completely before testing but I am wondering if other peoples ditched telemetrum/telemega into water. What repair did you do (if possible at all) to make it back to operational status. I expect the need to replace the barometer IC but anything else?
