Keep hitting it. It will blow up eventually. As I said, it's a boss battle.
It's not supposed to be easy.
The guy in the helecopter is the guy behind everything. You'll meet him
again once.

It does work. It's the recommended strategy. Jump and swim immediatly, don't
wait for the count down to finish or anything. If you take the direct line,
you can almost be at the beach before the ship explodes

You get hit a lot less underwater than swimming on the surface. Go deep.

Or just use cheats.
