If it hit the water this will send high up in to the air that would indicate a near miss and no explosion. If there no explosion there will be no fire and flooding at the engine compartment and the A.A. is perfectly good condition.

OR maybe the cockpit is highly protected and is encased in multiple layers of titanium. We just don't know, considering the CE generation mobile suits have very limited data on them. They don't even have the numbers for total propulsion, for God's sake.

OR then again, he could've just ejected the whole cockpit and the giant wave covered his descent to the water. It's hard to believe, but plausible.

OR, we can all just blame it on Destiny's bad writing. For some reason, I loved that show, but by god, it had plot holes larger than the pacific ocean.
Then the Strike should have the ejection seat in the near self destruct of the Aegis.
