Ball on impact of water simulation

Hello,

I am trying to have a ball fall on water, but when it does it has an impact. As in, goes down in water then slowly rises, jumps up a bit, falls back in then stops. Does any one know how i can simulate that? I am trying to imagine if the ball falls from the sky at a set gravity then falls into the water it will float but have some sort of impact, that is what i'm trying to simulate. Any ideas?

Thanks, i was playing with the gravity but it didn't look to convincing...

Off the top of my head, try keeping gravity constant and conditionally apply another upward force on the ball based on how much of it is underwater. That way if the downward force is strong enough it will go under the water's surface, slowdown, and then "pop" back out of the water before settling on the surface.
