Yes you cover the bottom of the stem with the water, but not so high that the stem gets flooded and soaks your weed.

I think MisterGreen nailed it there for you.

Because you want to suck the smoke through the water to filter it, as is the whole point of the bong other then bigger hits.

Do you understand?
