Concrete will cure just fine underwater, assuming you don't have flowing water that washes away all your hard work before it cures.

The Romans created concrete breakwaters under the ocean that are still functioning after 2,000 years. Don't worry about it.
You'll actually find once the water goes, it'll be stronger than if it didn't rain. Water-curing is common.
