The novelization has Indy tying himself to the periscope also and I agree that this is unhealthy. Indy would probably die of hypothermia before he got to the island; the movie shows that they traveled a few hundred miles at least. He probably would have been strapped there overnight and even if it were summertime the water wouldn't have been warm enough to survive that long in.

But I've said before that I don't know what other choice he had but to go after the sub. The "Bantu Wind" would not have been able to track the sub after it submerged and Indy would have lost the Ark and Marion.

In the novel, Indy loses his hat and his whip on this trip; the hat falls off on the way and he accidentally leaves the whip tied to the periscope.
