Ditching in the Drink

Should the unthinkable happen and you need to get wet on your day trip to Le Touquet, what is the safest way to land on water?

I remember my instructor saying that a slightly nosedown attitude was best, as a normal flare would cause the main wheels to 'catch' and slam you in nose first. Also, would full flap act as waterbrakes or cause more problems?

(I'm specifically thinking of a Warrior here).
