Too many factors to answer well. In general, the higher the frequency, the lower the penetration. water "quality" is also a factor as salt water will be different from muddy river from swimming pool, etc. Also the device quality counts - how much packet loss before it gives up?

I want to remember that the subs pick up a lot of their info around 100 ft. On the other hand my XYL trashed the attenuation competition at an early tin hat session with a water soaked liner.

If you are worried about being tracked, why not take the battery out?
