Nope, he lashes himself to the periscope with his whip and rides the couple of hundred (not thousands) of miles to a Mediterranean island. There's a long shot of the sub approaching the island, and you can see Indy on the periscope if you look. The dialogue, in German, indicates that they're going to maintain periscope depth ... but it's a very poorly edited sequence leaving viewers wondering how Indy survives a submarine voyage on the outside of a submarine. Even if they were to illustate it better, the sequence is the most preposterous in the film.

Yes, one of my favorite errors. There are a few other continuity mistakes where things fall apart on camera, but are "restored" in subsequent shots. And I love the hand-made mistake of the cobra reflection in the glass separator, and wish they hadn't "cleaned" that up for the DVD release. Bah.

You start to expect young Indy to fall into an icy cold river and be forced to skin a cow, tan its hide, and make a jacket to survive.

HAHAHAHAHA!!
