The volume and density of the water should not change, unless you lower the air pressure, and your density and mass didn't change, but the gravity is 1/6 that of earth. Will you only be 1/6 down in the water, as I said only getting your bum wet. Fish should be having a similar problem.

When you float you displace your weight in water. Recall that you and the water weigh 1/6 what you did on earth so it's a wash.

I do not agree.
Your weight will be just 1/6 of that on Earth, but that will be true also for the water. You float when the weight of the displaced water equals your weight. Unless the volumes change, nothing else will.

Water can't exist in a vacuum. It is either vapor if it is hot enough or ice otherwise. With no air pressure, it can't be a liquid.
