It depends on how the leather is finished. Certain leathers will sink almost immediately, however most leathers will float for a while until they become waterlogged and then slowly sink or float below the surface of the water.

Yes, leather sinks in water because it is a dense material that is heavier than water. When submerged in water, the pores of the leather can absorb water, causing it to become heavier and sink.
