Not sure how this forum works, but here's the issue, i'm most likely am not the first or the last to do this.
I dropped my iPad mini in my hot tub, it ws in a griffin case and on. What do i do?
iPad mini Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1.1
My advice is to put it in a bowl of rice right away, do not turn it on, that will create a short and that won't be good at all, no need to worry, just google what do do if you wet your device my best advice is to put it in a uncooked bowl of rice and burry your ipad in it

You could try to take it out of the case, and place it in a bag with a lot of rice. Let it sit for a few days. The Rice should absorb the moisture. See if it works.
Otherwise I would do as Ralph has suggested.

You do not ever truly power off an IOS device. As long there is power in the battery, there is current flowing somewhere in the device. The power button is a "soft" button and never really fully removes power like a light switch.
The advice to not power on is still valid as the more circuits that are not active the better your chances of recovering the device. But sadly those chances are not real high.
Thanks to all of you for generous and kind advice. Unfortunately the iPad was on when it fell it became submerged. Stupid is as Stupid does, that's what i get face timeing in the hot tub. I believe all the rice in China wouldn't put this ipad mini back together again. So i guess i will take your advice Ralph and take it to the techs.
thanks again all.
You are very welcome, Fitz...be sure and make an appointment with the genius bar, they get really, really busy. The blue Apple Retail Store at the bottom of this page, Genius bar upper right, Make an Appointment center top of page.
Take it to an Apple store genius bar for examination by the techs. If there is water damage they will suggest an out-of-warranty replacement for $219 in the US
