This. The waters barely up to the exhaust level, so it's miles off the intake.

Tbh the best way is to reverse and choose a drier route - failing that as stated go in slow and keep throttle steady , in all honesty with a scooby air intake in the place it is if you hit the water fast in the first instance youre probably gonna have trouble ,, ive waded loads in 4x4s etc but even then and with snorkles it doesnt take much water mixed with electricity to cause severe issues either immediately or in the long term
