Two theories, actually.
* He knew that Zuko would have gotten pulled in with him, and he wanted Zuko to get pulled in with him at first. He reconsidered at the last minute because he wanted to do at least one good deed before he died.
* He was so ashamed of his defeat, it made him suicidal.
* I'd like to think it's the first idea.
* I wouldn't.
* Alternately, we could take what we know of Zhao (prideful, rage-filled, petty, vengeful, and merciless) and conclude that he refused to take Zuko's hand for the simple reason that he could not fathom why Zuko would save him for any reason other than to prolong his suffering. However terrible drowning might be, he assumed what Zuko had in store for him would be worse.
* Forget Zuko, think about what the Fire Lord or AZULA wo

* Forget Zuko, think about what the Fire Lord or AZULA would do to him!
