Default water crossing

i notice in a lot of pics, that a lot of riders wheelie over water. is this a safety thing, trying to keep water out of engine and or person, or is it more of a technical thing? when u hit water, it slows you down, so if you hit it in a wheelie, does it try to force the nose down? or does the wheelie help offset the drag from the water? i still suck at wheelies either way, i can pop over something when i need, but i cant seem to ride one out for my life.
