I have owned water hunting detectors...they unfortunately aren't cheap when new. I owned a Fisher 1280-X and it's pretty good and doesn't usually leak or at least mine never did. I like White's PI metal detectors, but I've had one of those leak in salt water and it ended the hunt for the day. I've heard that Tesoro water hunting detectors are bad about leaking also. I like a waterhunting machine that has a sealed rechargeable battery pack that you never have to open...on these units such as the old Garrett Seahunters, you just unscrewed the headphones and placed the charger cord onto the headphone jack and charged the batteries. When done you just remove the charger cable, replace the headphone cable, and go do some detecting. No need to open battery compartment or expose electronics at any time. Stay away from those cheaper water hunting units...they are nothing but trouble and leak like crazy...a big waste of your money...and the Headhunter underwater detectors leak like crazy too...by the way, the headhunters are just 1280-x units in a different configuration and the 1280-x is way better about not leaking.
