Just a few examples that come to mind. Additionally, the pronunciation of the individual words included in an acronym DOES NOT determine the pronunciation of that acronym. See SCUBA as an example.

For your SCUBA example, is it the U you're talking about?

Underwater vs oonderwater?

Scuhba vs Scooba?

Also, the A stands for Apparatus, so it should be scuhbah since it's Apparatus, not uhpparatus
