Actually, the energy that is acquired by buoyancy from exiting the water is perfectly canceled out by the buoyancy from entering it. Buoyancy is caused by the fact that fluid on one side of an object exerts a different force than the fluid on the other side of the object. When entering the water from the bottom you have all of the weight of the water pressing the ball down and only a little bit of air supporting the ball up. The net force of the ball entering is downwards.
