Jet drives are what power personal water craft, such as a jet ski. They work by drawing water from underneath, into an impeller (a rotor inside a tube or conduit to increase the pressure and flow of a fluid) Then pushes the water out the stern. The jet steers by directing the water being expelled.

FYI new method is much better!
