For whatever reason, I've always been intrigued with watercrossings ever since I was a kid. None around here either other than little shallow ponds and puddles. I guess it's one of those things where you want because you can't have it type deal.

It looks like a lot of fun.
On our vehicles the intake is quite high and water ingress not very likely unless you are looking at truly deep water.
But of course the alternator sits low and water gets alternator dirty.
Not to mention bearings and diffs can be negatively affected.

So its good to know in an emergency we can go deep ( deeper than shown in this vid)
