Posted on May 02, 2018 at 00:04The parts themselves have to be protected from the environment. But to a certain extent the light does go through water. Actually water absorbs 940nm light, so the max distance for the VL53L0x and VL53L1x will be cut down. But the max range is 2meters and 4 meters respectively. So please go ahead and try it. If you account for the speed of light through water, you should get a fine answer.
