Your question is incorrect as aquatic plants do not have thick cuticle. The thick cuticle (waxy coating) is present in desert plants to prevent the loss of water.
In aquatic plants, for example, lotus the cuticle is almost is reduced as all the parts of plant are surrounded by water so there is no need for conservation of water. The exchange of gases, nutrients etc occurs directly through water
