Now, if you want to create an underwater cave like that in a new world, there are a few ways you can go about it. But working underwater is kind of a pain.

Whenever I plan to do major underwater construction, I usually try to make an enchanting table ASAP, then enchant/anvil/save scum myself a helmet with Aqua Affinity and Respiration, and some boots with Depth Strider.

If you're playing on peaceful (with regenerating health) you literally cannot drown, and even if you're playing on higher difficulty it still gives you way more time to work before you need to pop out for air. Aqua Affinity removes the speed penalty for breaking blocks underwater, and Depth Strider lets you move at normal speed so you can get around more effectively.

It may also help to bring a door with you. They seem to have fixed the old trick method of getting air underwater (ie, put a torch on a wall underwater and it creates a quick bubble of air before the torch pops off), but you can still put a door down and create a permanent air bubble area you can pop into and recover oxygen when you need to, if you're down low and can't really swim up to the surface every single time.
