Corrected entry: The Seaview is rushing to the Guam area to launch the missile. They keep saying that time is critical but all the shots show them going there submerged. A surfaced submarine can go much faster.

Correction: The Seaview is a highly experimental craft (throughout the movie and the following TV series, it's established that the Seaview is faster and more maneuverable than any real-life submarine) whose drive method is never stated, other than it doesn't use propellors. Considering this, it's hardly implausible that the Seaview carries a drive system that functions more efficiently when fully submerged, driving it faster despite the increased water resistance.
