Step 1: Get some random material that doesn't fall down when you place it (AKA: just about everything but sandlike materials)

Step 2: Go down to the sunken meteor, then completely surround yourself with aforementioned material.

Step 3: Dig up the ground below your feet. If done correctly, this should cause the water level below you to drop, creating an air pocket.

From here on out, you can slowly make a tunnel towards the meteorite, mining it up as you go.
