I drove through deep waters and the car switched off midway in the pool of water.

Do not try to start the engine without removing all the spark plugs first and remove any water that may have found its way into the cylinders. Water is not compressible and can cause major damage to the engine if any of the cylinders have water in them and the engine is turned over. Completely dry all the electronics with compressed air. Check the condition of the battery, it should have at least 12.5 volts.
