Driving through puddles

Simple question. If you find you have one side of your car going through a quite large puddle at speed, do you stay on the accelerator or lift off. Personally I lift off as I have some feeling that the differential will send all the power to the wheel out of the water and maybe only make things worse.

Don't do anything too sudden, I back off the power a bit alright.
