Mark 1:10

"And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove". [him/auton]. ESV. My emphasis.

When John baptised Jesus John may not have been submerged but if he entered the water then:-

A. When John came out of the water, immediately John saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on "him/Jesus" like a dove.

Or alternatively:-

B. When Jesus came out of the water, immediately Jesus saw the heavens being torn open and
the Spirit descending on "himself/Jesus" like a dove.
