I was thinking did they move the gate out of the water using the puddle jumper? I just checked and Ronin carries him through the gate and as we saw, it was underwater.

Yeah, that whole part was a little confusing. But here's what happened:
1. Team Sheppard gates to flooded planet. The outgoing-from-Atlantis wormhole shuts down.
2. Realising the problem. Sheppard dives into the water and dials Atlantis, telling them to keep the shield up. Unfortunately, now that the wormhole is incoming-to-Atlantis, the water's pressure will keep the gate open for 38 minutes.
3. Team Sheppard waits for 38 minutes, the outgoing-from-their-end wormhole shuts off, and Atlantis dials in, sending their jumper. The gate shuts off again.
4. Here's the thing. They can't dial Atlantis again because that'll be the same problem as when Team Sheppard dialed back; they'd have to keep the shields raised or else the water would come through and flood the tower. Thus, they have to wait until the water recedes, which they do.
5. 9+ hours later, the water recedes, the gate is left above the water line, they dial Atlantis, and walk through while the Jumper tries to find Dr. Nichol's team.

Originally posted by deagletime View PostI dont think this was mentioned, but it makes complete sense
And before that, Sheppard said they would wait in the jumper until the water recedes, he specifically told McKay he would be warm in the jumper
I may be paraphrasing though, but basically that's it.

LATER. Team Sheppard hurries through the Gate into Atlantis' Gateroom. Ronon is carrying an unconscious Rodney in his arms, wrapped in a blanket. A medical team is waiting and Ronon lays Rodney down on the gurney.
KELLER: How long has he been unresponsive?
TEYLA: Since he fell asleep in the Jumper -- about nine hours.
KELLER: OK, let's get him to the Infirmary. I want him under a scanner. (She looks at the rest of the team.) I wanna have a look at you guys too.
DEX: We're good.
KELLER: By that, I mean now.
(The medical team wheels Rodney away, the others following. Richard falls into step with John.)
WOOLSEY: I think you've just made a case for my proposal to send a M.A.L.P. ahead of every single transit.
SHEPPARD: Stuff happens, Woolsey, and by "stuff," I mean ...
WOOLSEY: I know what you mean, thank you. Why didn't you return in the Jumper I sent you?
SHEPPARD: I ordered the rescue party to continue the search for Nichols' team. There's a chance they're still alive.
WOOLSEY: Of course.
SHEPPARD: I'm gonna go checked out and then I'm gonna check on Rodney.

well i guess this answers the question in the forums what happens when u activate a stargate in the ocean. water will flood in for the 38 minutes, guessin in sg1 on the water planet the living water jus held themselves and didn't go thru.
but thats only sheps assumption, who knows if they did lower the shield would the gate still let the water thru?
they cud of tested it. ya know lower the shield and if water comes thru activate it again. not really worth the risk tho.

all in all i think they did what was best for both atlantis, the team and what servivors there might have been from the camp.

They should've dialed a space gate address and watched as the water flies off into space. Once water level recedes in 38 min it may be enough to dial Atlantis and go through with some water for a few secs as they pass through and raise shield ASAP.
Problem solved. Or even just let some water through for the few secs and go direct to Atlantis. Seems more logical to me this way

I thought SG1 established that the gate can differentiate between what's trying to actually get through and what's just pushing on the wormhole.
